[Situation] In the eastern portion of the county of Peebles.
In the year 1674 the Ancient parish of Hope Kailzie was dismembered and the portion of it on the South Side of the Tweed was annexed to Traquair from which it is seperated by a narrow strip of the parish of Yarrow extending to the Tweed. It consists of two Estates, Kailzie and Cardrona, the former divided into five farms exclusive of the lawn and pleasure grounds attached to the Mansion House. The whole of the estate of Cardrona, with the exception of the Mansion house and garden is in the occupation of one tenant.
It is bounded on the North and part of the east by the Tweed which seperates it from the parishes of Peebles and Inverleithen; on the west by the parish of Peebles in the County

[continued from page 3]
County of Peebles from the Tweed Southwards for the distance of About 1¼ Miles thence by the parish of Peebles in the County of Selkirk to Birks Cairn where it meets the Parish of Yarrow in the County of Selkirk with which it marches on the S.E. [South East] side, to the Tweed below Cardrona. It measures About 3⅓ Miles along the right bank of the Tweed and about 4⅓ Miles from the Tweed to the Sharp Point in which it terminates at Birks Cairn. The general description given of Traquair Proper applies equally to this. The arable land in this part is of a superior description. The hills are steep but not so lofty as those of the other parts of the Parish. It is richly wooded, well fenced and drained, and yields large crops of all the Kinds cultivated in similarly situated localities in the neighbourhood. The Church stood on the left bank of Kirk Burn, part of it is still standing. From the proximity of this to Peebles most of the parishioners attend worship there - See description of Traquair (Proper). |

[South] East sides, and by two on the North side A great portion of the stones have been taken away for the purpose of building dikes but enough still remain to show that the place was once strongly fortified.
From its general appearance it would be taken to be a British or Hill Fort and not a Roman encampment |
