All the country watered by the Ettrick, the Yarrow and the Kindred districts 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. The most numerous woods were Oaks, mingled with Birch & Hazel. Excepting a few Straggling thorns, and some Solitary birches, no traces of 'Ettricke Foreste Fair' now remain, although, wherever protected from the Sheep, Copses soon arise with any planting.
