In the old orthography the name is written "Mullross" or "Mailross", Mull. Or Moel signifying in Gaelic bare, and ross in Promontory - The name is applicable to the peninsula formed by the Tweed which is still called "Old Melrose", and which, altho: [although] in its present state one of the delightful residences imaginable might well be termed the bare promontory, when divested of its present advantages -
The religious Culdees who settled on this spot from Iona, as early as the beggining of the 7th Century, may have given the name to this place, if it had not been bestowed earlier by the Celtic population -
When the religious community of "Old Melrose" had fallen |

into decay, and a great Monestary was founded in a more favorable situation further up the river, the name of Melrose, interesting from sacred associations connected with it, was given to the more religious establishment -
Subsequently it was transferred to the to the adjoining Village, and to the parish in which it stands - This etymyology is deducible from history of the most authentic nature.
The parish of Melrose is one of the most extensive in the County - Its length from the top of the Middlemost of the Eildon Hills to Upper Blainslie is nearly 9 Miles- Its average breadth 5 1/2 miles -
It is bounded in the North, by Lauder: on the West by Stow in Edinburgh Shire & (Part of) Stow & Galashiels in Selkirkshire: on the South by Galashies (Ph [Parish] of Bowden and St Boswells - on the East by |

The principal high grounds are the Eildon Hills, on the South border of the parish, at the foot of which the town of Melrose is beautifully situated. The soil of the parish is various - In the South it is generally a strong clay,excellently adapted for wheat - The banks of the Tweed are a fine light dry soil, fit for all Kinds of grain - In the Northern parts of the parish the soil is of 3 kinds, 1st a light earth mixed with sand upon a gravelly bottom -: 2ndly, a strong clay upon a till full of springs and very wet; 3rdly Moss - The moss is frequently found to overlay marl of the finest quality - - -
There are four considerable streams in the parish - The Tweed, The Gala, The Allan, and The Leader - the Gala at Western and the Leader at the Eastern extremity of the parish, are 5 miles distant where they join the Tweed - Two Miles below the Gala, the Allan issues from a fine opening |

The Tweed enters the parish at Gala Foot, having formed its boundary with the Galashiels parish for two miles higher up. After receiving the Leader, it becomes its boundary with the parish of Merton, as far as Dryburgh -
of the ruins of Melrose Abbey-, founded in 1136 - it is unnecessary to say much - The ground plan according to the general Parish practice, is in the form of a rectangular cross - The nave which lies due east & West, is in length 258 ft an breadth 79 feet: and at the distance of 50 feet from the eastern extremity. it is intersected at right angles by the transep [transept], which is in length 130 feet, and in breadth 44 feet - |

To the west of the transept there are two magnificent rows of pillars ranged along the north & South side of the nave, which form two passages leading into the interior, where it is most spacious, the intersection of the transep [transept] and nave - The passage on the North side is bounded by a blind wall, that on the South, which is broader & more magnificent, opens into a long series of aisles, intended, perhaps, to serve as confessionals, Private Chapels, Baptistries, or Queers, each highly ornamented, and terminated by a splendid Gothic Window - Upon the north side of the building, indications are observable on the outer wall, of a large quadrangular cloister, which, beginning at the transept had extended 150 feet West, and also of a spacious arcade and piazza, with which it had been surrounded - The habitations of the Monks, as is said & confirmed by architectural indications & foundations |

Such seems to have been the general outlines of this famous building, so far as they can be traced in its present dismantled state. The architecture is the finest Gothic, belonging evidently to an age when the art, in all its departments, & that style of building in particular, had arrived at the highest perfection - -
As might have been expected in the vicinity of such an establishment, several memorials of the past exist - in every quarter - - |

There is a cross in the centre of the Town of Melrose, near the South entrance of the Monastery, which has a quarter of an acre of land to maintain and it called "Corse Rig" - The name of the "High Cross" marks the site of another, which stood near the Darnick Road, half a mile west, where the pinnacles of St Mary's Central tower first become visible - There are such names of places as Priors' Wood, Cloister Close Abbot and Monks Ford; and the springs still retain the names of Romish Saints, such as St Marys, St William's, St Helen's, and St Dunstan's -
The Tumulus upon the side of the Eildons called by the people the "Bourjo" is worthy of attention - It is evidently artificial, of great magnitude, and by tradition the site if a Pagan Altar -
The road leading to it is called the Haxalgate, and the ravine through which it passes the Haxalgate Heugh

Considered to have been a Bridle or Foot Road between Melrose Abbey & Edinburgh -
Chambers in his Caledonia Vol.1 p.141 states the following respecting the Girthgate -
"From Eildon, northward, General Roy in tracing its course (The Roman Road) has completely mistaken its track, towards Soutra Hill - without looking for the intimation of others, he was misled by the appearance of the "Girthgate" with passes, from the Bridge-end of Tweed, up the Valley of Allan Water, across the moors, to Soutra Hospital, on Soutra Hill - This foot-way without any examination of its formation, or materials, he mistook for the only remains of this Roman Road - He forgot, that Warburton, the Surveyor, & Antiquary, had rode upon the true road, in 1722, from the River Reed in Northumberland, by Jedburgh, Melrose, Lauder etc etc.- See Warburton's Letters to Gale, dated 12th December 1723, in Reliquiæ Galeanæ - P 438 - |

A large Arable field east of "Drygrange Mains" extending from the Turnpike road at at the latter. to the Leader Water, at "Boats Pool", from which it gets the name. It is the property of Thomas Tod Esqr. This name is only applicable to one field but it is so extensively known and appearing upon a very old Estate Plan (I believe) of 1760 that the proprietor wishes the name to appear on the Government plans. |

A beautiful castellated building about three Miles West of Melrose, and beautifully Situated on the banKs of the Tweed. Viewed from a distance the appearance of Abbotsford is Magnificent in the extreme, a perfect romance, in stone and lime, it partaKes largely of the Gothic and baronial type of Architecture, while it presents examples of the beauties of every style, combined and united in the truest taste, and forming in their Combination, a graceful and harmonious whole.
A short Avenue with a gentle descent leads from the public road, to the entrance of the mansion.
A large gateway leads into the court yard to which are attached a pair of jougs, or iron Collars, formerly used for confining criminals by the necK, bought from Thrieve Castle, the ancient seat of the Douglasses of Galloway. Passing under its portals, the peculiar appearance of the building is displayed, it is built of blue Whinstone, faced with sand stone doorways, windows, Cornices, and Ornaments; the colors of which contrast finely in its projecting balconies, and Castellated turrets.

The court yard extends along the front of the house about 150 Yards, and forms almost a square directly opposite the gateway a screen of open Arches of gothic stone worK, filled with a net work of iron affords a glimpse of the garden, which is beautifully laid out.
Around the Walls of the Court Yard, and also in various parts of the building numerous antiquarian Relics, stones carved with armorial bearings, and historical and pious inscriptions, which have been gathered with immense labor from many an old and Mouldering ruin, are built into the walls, perhaps the most curious oddity, is the door which formerly closed the portals of the Old Tolbooth of Edinburgh, it is built in about half way up the wall, and at the West end of the house there is a doorway, composed of the stones which formed the actual portal of the Tolbooth.
They were given to Sir Walter Scott on the pulling down of that building in 1817.
Near this doorway is the pulpit of the celebrated Ralph Erskine.
All around the back of the house and along the wall of the garden, there is a balcony of cast metal and also a finely trellised and shaded walk and in front of the Western and older part of the house, is placed a very beautiful, and by

by no means unsuitable ornament, the stone fountain, which formerly stood upon the Old Cross at Edinburgh.
The projecting porch which forms the principal Entrance to the house, is copied from one in Linlithgow Palace, under its roof are a fine pair of the bones of the wild Bull.
The door surmounted by a huge pair of petrified Antlers of the ancient British Elk, leads into a hall filled with curiosities, chiefly of an ancient and WarliKe character, and some very fine suits of Armour of different periods.
The Walls are pannelled with richly carved old wainscoat, from the Palace of Dunfermline, and the floor is of blacK and white marble, from the Hebrides.
Between the painted Arches of the roof are Shields presenting the Armorial bearings of Sir Walter's Father, his Maternal Ancestors, and the various families with whom he claimed Kindred.
The Cornice of the ceiling contains the heraldic distinctions of the Douglasses, Kers, Scotts, Turnbulls, Maxwells, Chisholms, Elliotts, and Armstrongs; the fire place is finely cut, being copied from Melrose Abbey.
In the Corner near the door, stand the ponderous Keys of the Old Tolbooth, so intimately

The library is connected at the West end with the drawing room, in which are portraits of Mr LocKhart, (sonilaw to Sir Walter) Mrs Scott, and her two daughters, and over the fire place is the portrait of the great bard himself, by Raeburn.
In this room are the Set of richly carved ebony chairs, presented to the Baronet by George 4th.
This leads into the Armoury, a narrow, low Arched room, which runs quite across the house, having a blazoned window at either Extremity, which contains many relics of historic fame, such as the pistol of Claverhouse, the Sword presented by Charles 1st to the Marquis of Montrose, Rob Roy's long barrelled MusKet, which bears his initials "R.McG", the blunderbuss of Hofer's Lieutenant, the hunting flasK of James 6th, and the pistols of Napoleon, found in his carriage after the battle of Waterloo; and various other curiosities -

Beyond the dining room is a small parlour which Contains the valuable collection of Original drawings, by Blore, Culcott. Turner and others.
In the Court Yard close by the porch of the Entrance-hall, is a Marble effigy of Sir Walter's favourite Dog Maiday over its grave, and bearing this inscription "Maidae Marmorea dormis sub imagine, Maida,
Ad januam domini; sit tibi terra levis"
Translated runs thus.
"O Maida, thou liest under the Marble ring
of Maida, at thy Master's door, may the
earth be light upon thee"!
Such is a SKetch of Abbotsford, the residence of the late Sir Walter Scot which stands unequalled in Britain, and which owes the whole of its beauties, to the talent and Genius of its late possessor, having by him transformed to a palace of beauty from its former unpoetic name Clarty Hole
It is now the property and occasional residence of J. R. Hope Scott Esq. |

The site of a Bridge, said to have been as ancient in its founding as far back as the 12th Century, And some remains of which were removed about 80 years ago for building purposes,
It is said to have been constructed after the primeval Style of laying planks from pier to pier, there being three in all, and the bridgeward dwelling in the centre one, in the middle of the Tweed; and drawing the Ends up at night, could be as defiant as he pleased. A fine idea of the bridge and its keeper is pictured by Sir W. Scott in ' The Monastery' -
It was here also the Holy way and Girthgate crossed - |

This Abbey was founded by King David I. in 1136, opened, And dedicated to St. Mary, in July 1146, And was the best endowed one in his Kingdom; but of this erection little remains, it having been destroyed by Edward II, in 1322, for which, And Several other Acts, Robert Bruce Severely punished him; in the year 1326, he had to rebuild in a magnificient Style of Gothic Architecture. - It was repaired the last time in the reign of James IV, And the Style then used was termed the perpendicular, So that it may be Said the building was of the very neat Gothic Architecture, when Slender pillars, And sharply pointed arches were introduced and the perpendicular which collectively display the most elaborate Specimen. of ancient Architecture in Scotland. The decorated work of this Abbey, as well the whole Mason worK, had been admirably executed; the mouldings are Still so Sharp, that, they Seem as if lately from the chisel of the mason, And the decorated worK yet displays the most refined taste -

A small Village about a mile East of Melrose on the rising ground forming the Eastern extremity of Melrose Valley; where it it stated by Chalmer's, and Camden, that the Knights Templars had an Establishment; but no remains of which now exist.
In the Vicinity of this village many Antiquities have been discovered, consisting of Roman Altars, Roman Pottery, an underground stone building, Well liKe pits, Gold Coins, and Animal remains
In the Village are a mixed School house, capable of Containing about 80 Children, having an average attendance of about 60, and wholly Supported by the inhabitants; two public Houses, Several small Grocers Shops, ad three pretty Cottage Houses; the remainder of the Houses are of a poor looKing description.
It is supposed by some Antiquarians that from this name may be inferred that an Older Steading Once existed here, viz. Red Abbeystead, and that this Steading was the Trimontium or town of theTriple Mountain, Consequently showing that the really Triple or Three peaKed Eildon, is the real Mountain. |

Three very remarKable Conical hills in the Southeast part of the parish of Melrose, and in the northeast of Bowden Ph. [Parish]; the boundary between the two above parishes crosses what is called the "Middle Eildon", or "Mid Hill" on the northeast hill there is the remains of a very larg "Roman Camp" which Surrounds the whole hill; the top of these hills Commands a beautiful prospect of the surrounding Country for many miles, the Stones on these hills, have a clean, light, hard appearance, as if they had underwent the action of fire - And are quite free from a mixture of clay -
These hills are the property of the Duke of Buccleuch -
These Hills are supposed by antiquarians to be the Trimontium, or Three Peaked Mountain Commanding a View of the principal steading in this Country of the Romans, and this steading is supposed to have been at Newstead, a valley about 2 miles North of the hill on which the Roman Camp is. |

The popular, and the really remotest source of the Tweed, is a paltry fountain Called Tweed's-well, a little above the farm house of Tweedshaws, and at the foot of a hill named Tweed's Cross, on the South-western boundary of the parish of Tweedsmuir, Peebles-shire.
From its remotest source to the sea at Berwick upon Tweed, it performs, irrespectively its windings a run of about 100 miles, about one third of which is in Peebles-shire, and about another third through or in contact with Roxburghshire -
The Tweed in its Course drains 1870 square miles |

A small river traversing the district of Lauderdale, Berwickshire, & for Some distance dividing that County from Roxburghshire -
After leaving the main body of the parish of Lauder it pursues a course of 6 miles, almost uniformly due South to the Tweed - 2 miles below Melrose - For a Short distance it divides Legerwood in Berwickshire from this parish: for 1 mile & a quarter it divides Legerwood & Earlston from the detached portion of Lauder; for 1/4 of a mile it runs scross a small projection of Earlston; & thence to the Tweed dividing Earlston & about 17 chains of Merton from Melrose - It runs with considerable rapidity, is a good trouting stream, & boasts of some fine scenery on its banKs, particularly as it approaches the Tweed |

An interesting little river of Mid-Lothian and Roxburghshire - It rises among the Moorfoot Hills in the former County, between Ruther Law and Hunt Law, on the northern boundary of the parish of Heriot, and, after flowing 2 miles due East, receives from the North a tributary equal in importance to itself, and suddenly bends round to the Sth. [South]
From the point of its exit out of Mid-Lothian onwards, it, with one trivial exception, divides Roxburghshire on its left banK, from SelKirKshire on its right; and from its source, to where it enters the Tweed a little below Abbotsford, it traverses altogether a distance of about 21 miles |
