[South East] by Melrose; and on the S.W. [South West] by Galashiels, Selkirk, and Yarrow; and on the West by Innerleithen -

The Section of the main body which lies within Selkirkshire, - and the one to which this description refers - measures 6 1/2 miles in extreme length, and about 2 in mean breadth, and consists solely of the Vale and hill streams of "Cadon Water" - |

A short distance, from the "Camp", on the north, and northwest, there are the remains of a deep trench, and having a rampart on the outside, portions of which, are still very distinct.
There is no particular name, given to this Camp, but it would appear to be in, this direction, the termination of the "Catrail" and is supposed to have been constructed about the same time as the latter. |

The remains of an old "Camp" on the farm of "Caddonlee" and a short distance west of the house, it appears to have been horseshoe shape, the northwest side being defended by a natural slope in the ground, the west side by a double "fosse" and treble ramparts, and the east by a Single "fosse" and double rampart the South Side is completely obliterated by the action of the plough &c. notwithstanding this being Called a "Roman Camp" I thinK that it is a British one - from its formation &c. |

004.13 |
A number of ditches, earthern ramparts & ways, are described by Miln, Chalmers and Kinghorn as existing at or about the Eildons - but the greatest work which the Britons constructed on the Island is the Catrail which runs for about 40 miles in the Counties of Selkirk & Roxburgh from near "Crosslee" on the Gala, to "Peelfell" on the confines of Northumberland. From the remains still existing, it appears to have been a vast ditch, about 24 feet wide, with a Rampart on each side 10 feet high, and seven feet thick, formed from the materials thrown out of the excavation. The object of this ditch may be learned from its name: "Cat" Signifying a Conflict or battle, and Rhail a fence: a war fence or partition. The name of "Pictsworkditch" was applied to this remarkable fence

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. |
