The name Selkirk, according to Sir James Dalrymple, is derived from two Celtic words, Schelch and greech, signifying the Kirk in the Wood or Forest. This derivation receives consideral support from the fact, that this part of the country was formerly covered with wood, and formed a Royal chase; and it has been adopted in the former Statistical account of this parish. It is elsewhere asserted that the name is written in old characters Seleschirche, Selechyne, or Selchire, meaning the great or good church. In a charter of William the Lion, it is written Seleschirche. From the great irregularities, and the capricious windings of its boundaries in which no regard is paid to the features of the Country, it is impossible [Continued on OS1/30/10/2A] |

to convey in words my idea of the figure of the parish. It is not even all in Selkirkshire, for there are two portions of it in the County of Roxburgh. The extent of the principal division, from Caudonlee (Stow Ph [Parish]) on the North, to Wool Burn on the South, is about 7 miles & a half; and from Easter Kershope (Yarrow Parish) on the west, to whitmoor Loch on the East, about 8 miles
The principal division is bounded on the N. [North] by Stow; on the N E [North East] by Galashiels; on the East by Galashiels & Selkirk in Roxburghshire on the south by Ashkirk in Roxburghshire - on the S [South] West by Kirkhope, & on the west & N.W. [North West] by Yarrow |

The parish is completely of a hilly character; but, from being all very elevated, the different Peaks have not that marked appearance they otherwise would have - of these the Three Brethren Cairn is 1978, & the Peat Law, 1964 feet above the level of the sea. Selkirk parish presents few features worthy the attention of the geologists -- The rocks belong to the transition series, and are chiefly greywacke, greywacke-slate, clay-slate etc which are disposed in Strata in general pretty highly inclined, and ranging from N.W. [North West] to N.E [North East] None of the more rare or useful minirels are to be met with. The soil is light and dry, & in consequence the crops are early.

Newark, on the Yarrow, is a field called the Slain Man's Lee, where the covenanters, a day or two after, are said to have put to death many of their Prisoners. Some bones are yet occasionally dug up on the spot. The ruins of only two castles, those of Newark & Aakwood, now exist.
The parish church is situated in the town of Selkirk, rather inconveniently for the country part of the Population, being within a mile of the Eastern, & between 5 or 6 from the other extremity of the parish, making it imposssible for the Peasantry to be so regular in attendance on public worship as they otherwise would be. It was built in 1748, & has since been repaired more than once. The last time of its being repaired was in 1829 - when it was newly roofed. & painted; and among other improvements, stoves were introduced, adding much to the comfort of the congregation in winter. It is calculated to contain about 1200 persons.

Five fairs are held during the year - one of these, on the 31st July, was established in 1820 for the sale of Lambs but it has not succeeded. The rest are for the transaction of business of all sorts.
In the western parts of the parish the principal fuel is Peats; but in the town & around it, Coals brought from the mines of Mid Lothian are chiefly used. The average price per cwt [hundredweight] is about £0.1.0 or £0.1.1.

A Royal Burgh, & County Town, stands on the Turnpike road between Edinburgh & Carlisle, 6 miles south of Galashiels, 7 s. [south] west of Melrose, 11 N.[North] West of Hawick, 22 East S. [South] East of Peebles & 36 s. [south] East of Edinburgh. Its site is chiefly the summit, & partly the slope, of a high & irregular bank or terrace which flanks a beautiful haugh on the right bank of the Ettrick. Its situation, away from any thoroughfare except a mountain one between Edinburgh and Carlisle - and accessible on one side only through a wilderness of wild upland moors, & on the other only by a circuitous & steep ascent up the bank which it surmounts, seemed to have quite incapactitated it for sharing in the modern improvements of Scottish towns --
It was all ill-built, irregular, & of mean appearance; and looked like a ten times repaired edifice, originally strong, & toughly tenacious of existance - yet quite time worn, nodding to decay, & threatened with desertion. Now however, it begins to look spruce and prosperous; it has a street or two entirely new, & neatly edificed; it possesses many elegant private residences [Continued on OS1/30/10/8] |

it is adorned with several modern & public pieces of architecture; it experiences the exhilaration of manufacture and trade; it is kept cleanly in its thoroughfares, & lighted at night with Gas; & tho [though] still retaining much of the wo-begone street lines of the days of its dinginess. The ancient access from all places on the further side of the Ettrick advanced up the Philiphaugh and Crossed a venerable Bridge, which still stands and is strong & serviceable, and by a circuitous sweep, climbed laroriously up the Bank, so as to enter the Burgh from the south or S. [South] West; but the modern access crosses the Ettrick by a new & handsome Bridge not far above the confluence with the Tweed, & runs thence up a haugh along the right bank of the stream till within ¼ of a mile of the Burgh, and then slowly, and with a very slight curviture, and a beautiful sheet of roadway, ascends the Terrace, lined for a great way with neat new houses, and entering the body of the town at the point of the greatest thoroughfare. The chief & central part of the Burgh is the Market Place, a very spacious triangular area, picturesque [Continued on OS!/30/10/9] |

in appearance, and airily commodious for Fair and Market -- This area, on the side parallel with the River, receives the new Edinburgh road, and, at the s. [south] west angle, receives the old access; and at other points it sends off thoroughfares, which, combinedly with the two thoroughfares to the Ettrick, all having the Market Place for their body, give the Plan of the town somewhat the general appearance of a Crab -- The longest of the streets is the Town Head, which goes off windingly on the East, & climbs the lower acclivities of the slowly ascending moors on the way to Hawick -- On the South West, or shortest side of the Market Place, finely overlooking the large area, stands the Town-hall, a neat modern erection, winged with good houses whose ground floors are disposed in large shops - surmounted by an elegant spire of 110 feet in height - and arranged in the interior into apartments for the Burgh and sheriff courts - & for public meetings & a library - In the open area of the Market-place, stands a very conspicuous well, embellished with Towns Arms, & a monument erected, by the county, in 1839, to the memory of Sir Walter Scott. The pedestal is erected upon a broad base, 14 feet square, & measures 20 feet from the ground to the plinth on which Sir Walter stands. |

Antiquarian research has discovered the remains of an artificial safeguard, which is known, in the country, by the several names of the Catrail and of the Pictsworkditch -- The Catrail is the British name of ancient times; and signifies, in the British language, what distinctly intimates the purpose, for which it was made, the dividing fence, or the partition of defence, -- The name of the Pictsworkditch was applied to this remarkable fence, in more modern times, by the same people, who called Severus's Wall the Pictswall, and other objects, by the same well-known name --
The Catrail, consisting of a Fosse, and a double rampart - runs through the shires of Selkirk, and Roxburgh, from Galashiels, on the north, to the Peel Fell, at the eastern extremity of Lidisdale, on the south --
The Pictsworkditch first appeared, on the north, at a farm, called Mosalee, a mile westward from Galashiels, near the obvious remains of a British Fort -- From Mosalee, it runs, southward, by the west of Boghall

and, at the end of two miles, arrives at the Rink-hill, on the summit of which, there are the remains, as the name implies - of a British Hill Fort, that is of an eliptical form, and is defended by two ditches, and two ramparts of earth, & Stone. From the Rinkhill, the Pictsworkditch proceeds, in a South west direction, across the Tweed, near the influx of the Howdenpot Burn; and continues its course to a British Fort, on the west side of this stream.
From this Fort, the Pictsworkditch passes Cribshill; and is again discovered several miles, Westward, passing along the south-east declivity of Minchmoor, whence it passes Henhillhope, where it is distinctly seen, in its obvious course, for a quarter of a mile - It afterwards clearly appears, as it ascends the Swinebraehill, above Yarrow Kirk; and passing the Yarrow River, near Redhawse it is again observable several miles, southward, near Dolerain Burn, on the south side of Ettrick Water.

it has been traced across Coplaw; & thence southward, by the base of Stanhopelaw, where its singular remains are pretty distinct -- For some distance, southward, of Stanhopelaw, it cannot now be traced owing to the swampiness of the country - but, the Pictsworkditch again appears on Henwoody Common; whence it proceeds, in a south West direction, across Borthwick Water, past a farmstead, called Broadlee, where the remains of it again become very distinct, for the course of a mile & a half, till it reaches Slatehillmoss -- From this position, it proceeds forwards, in a south east direction, across Teviot, through the farm of North-house to Dockcleugh-hill, where its remains are very distinct - from Dockcleuch-hill, it continues in a s. east course, in a slaunting form, across Allan Water, to a place called Dod, passing two hill Forts on the left -- From Dod, where its remains are distinct, the Pictsworkditch, proceeds eastward, past another British Fort, called Whitehill Brae; and it there ascends the Carriage hill - on which its remains are very perfect - From Carriagehill it proceeds across a rivulet, called Langside Burn; and here says Gordon, the Tourist, - "it becomes the land mark betwixt the Duke of Buccleuch's estate, & Sir Gilbert Elliot of Stobs" |

From Langside Burn, its remains are very distinct, as they pass along the northern base of the Maiden Paps to the Leapsteel; and thence passing Robertslin, it traverses a tract of boggy ground called Cockspart: crossing the hills into the upper part of Lidsdale, the remains of it again appear on Dawstane Burn; and thence passing the abbey, it goes on to Dawstane Rig - from this position, faint vestiges of it were traced nearly to the Peel-fell, which is one of the chain of mountains, that forms a natural barrier, between Northumberland, on the South, & Teviot dale, and Lidsdale on the North --
The whole course of the Catrail, which has been thus traced, from the vicinity of Galashiels to Peel-fell, is upwards of 45 miles --
The most entire parts of the Catrail show, that it was originally a broad, and deep fosse; having on each side a rampart, which was formed of the natural soil, that was thrown from the Ditch, intermixed with some stones. Its dimensions vary, in different places -

This variation may be partly owing to its remains being more or less perfect -- In those parts, where it is pretty entire, on the North of the Rinkhill, on Dockcleugh-hill, on Carriage-hill, at Leapsteel, & at the Abbey, the fosse is 26 & 25 feet broad: in one place, which was measured by Dr [Doctor] Douglas, the fosse was 27½ feet broad -- But, in those parts, where the rampart has been most demolished, the fosse only measures 22½ feet, 20, & 18, & in one place only 16 feet wide -- In some parts - the most entire, Gordon found the ramparts, from 6 to 7, & even 9 or 10 feet high; and from 8 to 10 & 12 feet thick. the accidents of time, & the improvements of tillage have, however, destroyed much of them, & lessened the height of those, which remain, the singular objects of rational curiosity --
Dr [Doctor] Douglas found, that in many parts, the ramparts do not now exceed 3 feet high, some old farmers, in Ettrick Forest, informed him, that the remains of the Catrail have been much diminished, in their remembrance; & that the traces are becoming less visible every day --

connected chain of defence, along its extended course, being only interrupted, in some parts, by the channel of rivers, or by impassable swamps, which formed themselves a sufficient fence - Along its ample extent, there are several forts of the British people, which were built, either on the contiguous hills, or on the neighbouring heights -- But, there are not upon the Catrail, as some Antiquarians imagine, a regular series of redoubts, such as gave strength, & ornament, to the Roman Walls --
Gordon, who has the merit of having first brought this curious remain into notice, absurdly supposes it to have been a limes, or boundary, which the Caledonians established, after their peace with the Emperor Severus -- He ought to have recollected, that this work is in the country of the Romanized Britons of Valentia, and lies far from the land of the Mæatae, and Caledonians --

Maitland, with equal absurdity, has converted the catrail into a Roman Road - If he had only examined it, he would seen, that it is as different from a Roman Road, as a crooked is from a straight line, or as a concave work is from a convex -- The able, & disquisitive Whitaker was the first, who applied the Catrail to its real purpose, by referring it to its proper period. There can hardly be a doubt, whether the Catrail was once a dividing fence, between the Romanized Britons of the Cumbrian Kingdom, & their Saxon invadors, on the East --
It cannot, indeed, be fitly referred to any other historical period of the country, which is dignified by the site of this interesting antiquity -- The Britons, & the saxons, were the only hostile people, whose countries were separated by this warlike fence, which seems to have been exactly calculated to overawe the encroching spirit of the Saxon People --
Whether the several ramparts, which traversed Berwickshire, be the same as the Catrail, is not quite certain: but, there cannot be any reasonable doubt, whether they were all made, by the same British hands, for the same purpose of defence, during the same obscure age of hostile intrusion -- From Chalmers Caledonia - Vol. [Volume] 1.

A well known hill in Selkirk Parish and about 5 miles in a north west direction from the Town of Selkirk the sides are abrupt towards the north and west, it is covered with Heathy Pasture and affords pasturage for grazing Sheep. on the top of this Mountain stood at one time a large stone pile said to have been erected as a memorial by Three Brethren from whom the Hill was named others assert that the Pile or Cairn was erected over the Graves of Three Brothers who were interred on that spot, but from neither tradition or History can it be learned who these Three Brethren were. the story being entirely a local one.
The most probable supposition is that the name originated in the general appearance of the Three Brethren and one on either side of it (being) Broomy Law and Hareshaw Hill. these Hills present three distinct Summits, yet these are in a manner connected with each other, by a high ridge of land. slightly depressed below the Summits |

A flat plain of good arable land situated at the confluence of the Yarrow Water, with the "Ettrick", and extends from thence, along the latter for nearly a mile to "Weatherhouse", and is between a ¼ and ½ a mile in breadth, There are many Fairy legends connected with this plain, one of which is subject of a fine old Poem which is given by Sir Walter Scott, in his Minstrelsey of Scottish Borders and entitled "Tamlane"; this "Tamlane" (according to the Poem) was Son of Randolph, Earl of Murray, and who was carried off by the fairies, when out hunting in the company of his uncle, And when he was with them several years he appeared at a spring, which still bears the name of "Tamlane's Well", to a daughter of Dunbar, Earl of March, who eventually rescued him, (according to his own instructions) on a Hallow'een night. at a place near to where now stands the Duke of Buccleuch's residence of "Bowhill" called Miles Cross |

General usage |

[Situation] Coterminous with the Parish
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 districts N. [North] of the Tweed, besides upperward of Clydesdale, were anciently a literal Forest, the remains of the ancient Caledonian Forest. The most numerous woods were Oaks, mingled with Birch & Hazel -- Excepting a few straggling Thorns, & some Solitary Birches, no traces now remain, altho, [although] wherever protected from the sheep, copses soon arise without Planting |
