005.16 | This name is applied to a ridge; chiefly consisting of waterworn stones, and which has already been met with, in [different] parts of Berwickshire under the term of "The Kaims". It appears in the parish of Kelso very distinctly at the County boundary a short distance North of Pilestead farm, where it rises to about 12 feet above the level of the ground, but diminishes gradually in height in its Course towards [the] S.W. [South West] until it disappears, leaving as an only guide a large Collection of Coarse gravel on the almost level ground. Immediately north of Floors Home farm, within a small plantation it becomes again distinctly visible for a short distance and disappears then altogether, or rather [becomes] at present untraceable in its further course in consequence of the height of the Crop. |
