Roman Road continued with each other. For three miles and a half of this part of its Course it forms the boundary between the Parish of Ancrum on the one side, and the parishes of Crailing, Roxburgh, & Maxton on the other; it then stretched away by St. Boswells, in direction of the Village of Newtown, where its course was very discernible, before it reached Bowden Burn. From Newtown it then ran straight
for the village of Eildon where there was a Station, which is believed to have been the „Trimontium“ of the Itinerary“.
It cannot be traced between the river at Nesbetmill Caul and where it is shewn to terminate above Woodside, nor Can any satisfactory evidence be obtained of its supposed direction I have had the whole matter fully investigated.
