Ettrick Forest Ettrick Forest Chalmers Caledonia
Fullerton's Gazetteer
New Statistical account		 002 ; 005 ; 006 ; 009 A popular, poetic, & historical name for the whole, or chief part of SelKirKshire. All the county watered by the Ettrick, the yarrow & their tributaries, and the Kindred district watered by the Cadon northward 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 trace of "Ettrick Forest fair" now remains, although wherever protected from the Sheep, Copses soon arise without any planting.
