A Parish in the County of Haddington, so called to distinguish it from the town and territory of Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is Sometimes called South Berwick. It is bounded on the north by the frith of Forth; on the east by Whitekirk parish; on the south by Whitekirk, Preston, and Dirleton parishes; and on the west by Dirleton. The coast towards the east is bold and rocky; towards the west it exhibits considerable stretches of level sand and flat grassy downs. Several rocky islets stud the coast. A range of low but in some parts very picturesque hills stretches across the southern of this parish, but the most remarkable hill is North Berwick Law, a very beautiful conical shaped eminence (See description of this). A few small rivulets intersect the parish. The most remarkable |

[Continued] - object in this parish is the Bass Rock (See descriptive remarks) In the eastern portion of this parish, close upon the coast stand the ruins of Tantallan Castle, formerly the residence of the powerful family of Douglas. The royal burgh of North Berwick is the only village in the parish. It mainly consists of two streets nearly at right angles with each other. The harbour is formed by a tolerably good pier, but it is dry at low water, and affords but little Shelter for shipping This parish is in the presbytery of Haddington, and synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. Patron, Sir Hew Dalrymple, Bart. [Baronet]. Stipend £306.2.5d

[Situation] About 2½ Miles N.E. by E. [North East by East]
An immense rugged perpendicular rock in the Firth of Forth, about 1½ miles northwards from the ruins of Tantallon Castle. It rises to the height of about 420 feet above the Surface of the sea, and from the depth of water around its total height may be estimated at about 600 feet. This rock is inaccesible on all sides excepting a flat shelvy point to the South east; the south and the north side of this point are the only two landing places. On this rock are the remains of a Chapel and a Castle; this Castle was the state prison of Scotland during the persecutions of Charles II [2]. The Bass is remarkable as being the last place in Great Britain which held out for the Stewart dynasty. Great quantities of sea fowl called the Solan Goose or Gannet breed on this rock; this, with Ailsa Craig are the only places in Scotland frequented by these fowl. |

Extract from New Statistical account of Scotland Page 330 -
"Facing Tantallan Castle on the north, in the mouth of the Firth of Forth, about a mile and a half from the shore, stands the immense rugged circular rock called the Bass. It is fully a mile in Circumference. It rises 420 feet above the Surface of the sea, and from the fathomed depth of the waters around, it may be estimated about 600 feet in total height. On the north, it is peculiarly lofty and precipitous, and Stupendously overawing. On the South, it is somewhat conical in form, sloping moderately down nearly to the base. It has been fancifully Stated to resemble in this aspect the Spoon and Knife and fork-box, such as used to grace our family Sideboards. Its superficies is guessed at seven acres. A caverned passage penetrates through the rock from north-east to south-east, where the rock grandly projects, perhaps forty feet. The cavern is passable even at full tide, if the sea be calm. The Bass is inaccessible save on one flat Shelvy point to the South-east; the south and north side of this point

are the only two landing places. Commanding this point, is a small fortalice at the extremity of the curtain. At one time, the fortification could be reached only by ladders, or by a bucket and chains raised at the crane bastion; but afterwards, the ascent was by three flights of stone stairs within the rampart, each protected by a strong gate: these inner gates have long ago dissappeared The fort and the dungeons are all unroofed, and in ruins. Blackader's Cell is still pointed out with its three small iron-barred windows to the west, and awakens many a solemn sacred feeling. One solitary gun yet remains of the ancient defence, now much corroded: the few other cannon on the Bass were brought thither from Leith only in 1822, to salute George IV [4] on his visit to Scotland, when the southern landing-place was somewhat prepared in the possibility of his Majesty landing there. The King of Belgium visited the Bass in 1819. About half-way up the acclivity of the rock, a little below the old effaced garden, are the interesting remains of a Chapel, pretty entire. The niches for the fonts shew that it was built prior to the reformation. When the Bass became the Bastile of Scotland, the state-prison for the persecuted Covenanters.

- this chapel was desecrated by being made the ammunition magazine for the garrison.
How early this island was tenanted by man, is quite unknown. It is traditionally reported to have been a residence of Baldred, the apostle of East Lothian, even in the sixth century. It is on authentic record, that it was inhabited in the beginning of the fifteenth century: for in 1406 Robert III placed his son on the Bass (afterwards James I ) to be beyond the cruel machinations of his uncle, the Duke of Albany, till a vessel was procured to convey him to France; and hence he embarked in his memorable ill-fated voyage, which terminated in his nineteen years captivity in England." "The Bass for many generations was the property of an ancient family, styled Lauder of the Bass, one of whom is stated to have been a compatriot of Wallace. The family residence, however, it is believed, was not on the Bass, but in the town of North Berwick" "It was purchased by government in October 1671 from Sir A Ramsay for the sum of £4000 ultimately it was purchased by Sir Hew Dalrymple for one Scots penny, the government reserving the right of refortifying it if needed, It now belongs to his descendants. |

[Note] Extract From Fullarton's Gazetteer
The only landing-place is on the south east side, and this was
Commanded by a small fortalice now in ruins. Beague thus
describes this castle, in the time of Mary of Guise's regency; Now, the
island in which the castle stands is itself an impregnable rock, of a
small extent and oval figure, cut out by hands of nature;
it has only one avenue that leads to it, and that is towards the
castle"_" as I have often observed - those that enter it must climb up by the
help of a strong cable thrown down for the purpose, and when they have got
with much ado to the foot of the wall, they are drawn up in a basket" |
