"In the vicinity of Carlops immediately opposite to Newhall
House on the southern bank of the Esk there is a place Called
Harbour Craig which is a freestone projecting rock over a deep hollow
glen formed by the precipitous banks of two Streams which here empty
themselves in the Esk. On this dreary and secluded spot tradition States
that the Covenanters Sat down after their defeat at the battle of Pentland
and there found a temporary refuge in the fastness of this Sequestered
valley which perhaps afterwards received the name which it still bears
from the shelter which it gave to the furgitives on this occasion
On the rock there is still to be seen the initials of some of them together with
the date of the period when they took up their abode in this solitude
and for sometime undisturbed by their enemies performed those
religious services to which they were devoted and cheerfully
suffered, the loss of all things" -- New Stat. Acct [Statistical Account] of Co. [County] Peebles, page 157-8 |
