OS1/11/131/73 FISHERROW Fisherrow Rev [Reverend] Mr Beveridge Inveresk Mr Gordon Town Surveyor Musselburgh Co [County] Map Stat Acct [Statistical Account] 1845 A small town divided from "Musselburgh" by the River Esk, it lies upon the coast of the Firth of Forth & upon the Edinr [Edinburgh] and Berwick main road 6 miles from the former place, it has a small but well built harbour and does a tolerably extensive trade by exporting coals and agricultural produce to the Baltic and N. [North] east of England, it is of remote antiquity & is supposed to have been occupied by the Romans This presumption arises from Roman remains having been discovered in the excavations made during the building of some houses in the Town in the last century & it is certain that a Roman Causeway led from the harbour to the interior of the Country but neither the Site or any remains of the road is now Known, nor are the houses Known where the Roman remains were found. The name of the town is derived from its having being principally the residence of Fishers but it is now inhabited by people of all callings, it is governed by the same Provost & Council as Musselburgh and helps to elect them as also to the election of the Member of the "Leith Burghs"
