009.04; 010.01 A long Island in the Tweed opposite chalk Heugh and near to its junction with the Teviot. It is broken by floods, and the old shingle laid bare. The Trees are chiefly Willows, and a kind of Poplar. The shingle and part of the grass are used by washerwomen for bleaching their clothes. In its present state the Island is worthless for any other purpose, after a Law-suit with the Duke of Roxburgh, it was abandoned to the inhabitants of their use or pleasure.
