Chalmers Caledonia
Fullertons Gazetteer

006 |
A popular, poetic, and 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 district 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 -
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 without any planting -
