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 source to the sea at Berwick upon Tweed, it performs, irrespectively of windings, a run of about 100 Miles, and drains 1870 Square Miles. |

A popular, poetic, & historical name for the whole or chief part of Selkirkshire. All the country watered by the Ettrick, the Yarrow and their tributaries, and the Kindred districts watered by the Cadon North of the Tweed, besides the upper ward of Clydesdale, were anciently a literal Forest, the remains of the ancient Caledonian Forest.
Excepting a few straggling Thorns, and some solitary birches, no traces of Ettrick Forest now remain, although, wherever protected from the Sheep, Copses soon arise without any planting.

Innerleithen Ph [Parish] is
in two Counties, Peebles
and Selkirk.
The portion in Peebles was
surveyed by Capt [Captain] Kerr in Decbr. [December]
1856- It has been
established on the 1/2500 scale
I believe engraved on
the six & one inch scales
the word in question
is here spelt Inverleithen.
The portion in Selkirk
has been surveyed by
Lt Col [Lieutenant Colonel] Cameron RE [Royal Engineers]
Inverleithen adopted
on plan of Co [County] Selkirk by
Order of Cap [Captain] Scott
RE [Royal Engineers]
I thank him for adhering to Inverleithen

Capt [Captain] Barnaby - who
spells the Parish
Innerleithen -
The best authorities
appear to be for this
latter mode of spelling.
The name lists & Authorities
for each method are
forwarded - Will
you be so good as to
decide on the spelling
as it would involve
an alteration in the
engraving if the latter
is adopted.

Sir
I have received Instructions
to pay the utmost attention
to the orthography of
names on the Plans of
the Government Survey
of Scotland, and, as a
question has arisen
respecting the mode to
be adopted in writing
"Innerleithen" or "Inverleithen"
Parish, Co. [County] Peebles, I shall
be obliged by your

August 15 1859
Sir
In answer to your
questions as to the mode
of spelling the name of
the Parish of Innerleithen
or Inverleithen I find
upon referring to the Dft. [Draft]
Minute Books in this Office
since the year 1850 M
that it is always written
Innerleithen in the
Conveyances & other Deeds
relating to property which
have been recorded in

being so kind as to inform
me how the name of this
parish is spelt in the
Law Courts
Leases & Conveyances of Property
Wills & Bequests
and at the same time
to state, which mode
of Spelling you would
recommend for insertion
on the ordnance Plans
ie. "Innerleithen" or "Inverleithen"
An answer on the
[continued on page 27k]
[continued from page 27c]
this Office. As to the
mode adopted by the Law
Courts I cannot give you
any information.
It appears to me
therefore that Innerleithen
is the common way now
of spelling the word, altho' [although]
originally I am disposed
to think Inverleithen
the name, derived in the
same way as Inverness,
Inverary, Invershiel &
many others throught
Scotland, the Volumes
of this Record being trans-
mitted when complete to
the General Record House in |

Sir
The name of the
Parish you refer to is spelt in
The Law Courts
Leases & conveyancy of
Property
Wills and Bequests
Innerleithen, & the
same mode of Spelling
is otherwise generally
used. I have examined the Titles
of two of the oldest
families in the county
(whose properties are in
that parish) from
1675 downwards &
Innerleithen is

Innerleithen or Inverleithen -
An answer
[continued on page 27j]
is uniformly used.
It is sometimes spelt
Inverleithen - princi-
pally by parties not
resident - but I
have no hesitation
in recommending
that the mode of
spelling
to be used for insertion
in the Ordnance
Plans should be
Innerleithen
