The existence of this court (which was called the Birla or Boorla Court,) was discontinued about fifty Years ago. There are three fairs or trysts. held annually in Gifford, viz. on the last Tuesday of March, the third Tuesday of June, and the first Tuesday of October.
There is one Inn, and 3 pubic houses, and a number of hucksters Shops in the Village.
I made strict enquiries, regarding the report stating that John Knox, the father of the Scottish Reformation was born in Gifford. but did not learn anything to confirm the Statement made, by Beza, Buchannan, Crawford, and McCrie affirming that he was born in the Village of Gifford in the Year 1505. |

"Hopes Water" takes the name of "Yester Water" after it passes Hopes. and retains this name until it reaches about a mile to the north of the Village of Gifford. at which place it assumes the name of "Coalston Water", and goes under this last name till it falls into the "Tyne" near "Lennoxlove" - Between "Hopes" and "Eaglescarnie" it is generally called "Gifford Water" by the people living in the Vicinity, but. Henry Davidson Esqr Factor to the Marquis of Tweeddale Maintains that "Yester Water" and Not "Gifford Water", is the proper Name. |
