Ettrick Forest |
Ettrick Forest |
Chalmers Caledonia
Fullerton's Gazetteer

015; 019 |
A popular, poetic & historical name for the whole or chief part of Selkirkshire. 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. |
