Fullerton's Gazetteer
New Statistical Account.		 001 ; 003 ; 004 ; 007 A popular, poetic, & historical name for the whole or chief part of Selkirkshire. All the country watered by the Ettrick, the Yarrow, & 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 the Forest of Ettrick now remain, although, wherever protected from the sheep, copses soon arise without any Planting.
