"Ingraston vulgo Ingiston has been a mansion house with an avenue of large trees
opposite to which is a small Know of a conical figure Called the Law by some thought
preternatural." -- Armstrong quoted in Pennecuik's History of Tweeddale page 196
"Ingistown belongs to John Lawson Esquire of Cairnmuir. The avenue was lately cut down
The Law forms almost an exact Cone with its sides straight till they meet in a point at
its vertex Rising out of a hollow and detached from the surrounding heights it has
a Singular and beautiful effect with the Medwin from the meadows of Garwalfoot
& Ingistown winding past on the west within a little of its base between and the hill of
Dolphington in Lanarkshire. It is about 40 ft high &. is evidently natural. The turnpike
road from Edinburgh to Biggar passes it &. the inn of Bridge-end which is now converted into
a farm house Stands near it on the opposite Lanarkshire or west side of the Medwin. About
a mile east from it the highway passes through a hollow of blowing Sand as if cut by art across
a root from Mendick hill above it. This passage called the Sandyhill-Nick is said to have been
made in one night by a wizard called Michael Scott who at the same time produced the Law
by laying down where it stands the contents of the Nick. By the help of Old Nick this Clydesdale warlock
is there reported to have done many wonderfull feats besides this and in short everything uncommon
and unaccountable to the rustics of the district." -- Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] quoted in Pennecuik's Hist. [History] page 196
[Note] -- The Law is now called Kippit Hill, the latter is the correct name. -- Signed) P. McHugh Lc Corpl R,S,&, M, [Lance Corporal Royal Sappers and Miners] |

"There were from an early period hills or hamlets at Ingiston and Blyth. The latter
in the beginning of the last Century was still known as the town of Blyth. On a hill in its
neighbourhood Called Green Castle there are vestiges of a circular fort". -- Origines Parochiales Scotiæ page 191
"Blyth is a small village near which is a stone bridge over Tarth where the roads
by Linton and Noblehouse meet and on a hill Called Green Castle are the appearances of a Circular fort". -- Pennecuik's Hist [History] of Tweeddale page 199
[Note] -- "Blyth Bank on Sheet 8 No. 5 & 9 was Called Green Castle about the beginning of
this Century but when the farm house of Blythbank was erected it then got the
name of Blyth Bank Hill and is not Known by any other name at present. On
its Summit there is a fortified position Called the Rings". -- Signed P. McHugh Lce Corpl R,S,&.M, [Lance Corporal Royal Sappers & Miners] |

[Note] -- The objects called Rings in Peebleshire are apparently
British hill forts. See Chalmer's Caledonia vol. [volume] 2 page 908
Although the country people speak of them as being constructed
for the security of cattle in the feudal times or during the border
excursions. It is probable they may have been used for the
latter purpose in times long after their construction, But
the proper designation to be written on plan is Fort as has
been done hitherto Rings being only a provincial designation
peculiar to Peebleshire. |
