[Situation] In the centre of the County of Roxburgh.
The name of this Parish is a corruption of Gaelic Badruchail signifying the village by the roaring stream, - the ancient modes of writing it having been Bedderul Bedderoul and Badroul and which the inhabitants still pronounce as if written Betherull, - resembling in sound that of the Gaelic original. The Parish of Bedrule is bounded on the North by those of Ancrum and Jeburgh, on the East by Jedburgh, on the South by HobKirk and on the West by HobKirk and Cavers.- There is no part of it detached nor is there within its boundaries a detached portion of another Parish.- Of somewhat oval figure, it measures from North to South upwards of 4 miles and from West to East between 2 and 3 miles and has an area of about 3,753 Impl [Imperial] Acres which consists of nearly an equal quantity of arable, pasture and muir land. The Parish throughout has an undulating surface - the richest land lying along the principal streams. From the Dunian at [continued on page 2] |

the east side of Parish the greatest elevation in the Parish which is upwards of 1000 feet above sea level
a line of low lying hills stretches across the Parish. The principal streams are Rule Water on the Wn [Western] boundary
and Ruecastle Burn in the central district both tributaries of River Teviot. Two branches of Turnpike
Road from Castleton to Jedburgh enter the Southern District and after a junction the road pursues for about one mile
a NE [North Eastern] direction. Limestone and coal exist but as yet have not been successfully worked. No manufactory is carried on.
There are two villages or hamlets both of which consist of a farm-house and a few cottages - named respectively Bedrule
and Newton. There is a Parish School in Bedrule Village also a parochial church a little to the South thereof
Patron Hume of Ninewells. Sir William Francis Elliot of Stobs is Chief Proprietor. Population at the last
census 240.
Distinct vestiges of an encampment may be traced in En [Eastern] district which are identical in
features with similar objects hitherto characterized as British Forts. The Sites and remains of several border
strongholds have been shewn, of which structures there is nothing particularly interesting either in history or their construction.
They belonged principally to the Turnbulls a family noted for their predatory habits in feudal times. At
Rue Castle - the site of which is shewn, it is traditionally reported that the Courts of Justice were held previously
to removal to Jedburgh. |
