West of Yarrow Kirk, says the N. Stat. Ace, is a piece of ground on which were formerly about twenty large cairns, and on which are still two unhewn massive stones, about 100 yards from each other, evidently the scene of a conflict, and supposed to be ' The Dowie Dens of Yarrow.' This will perhaps scarcely correspond with the 'ten slain men' and the 'Tinnes bank' of ancient ballad. Deuchar Swire, in the north of the parish, was the scene of a duel between Scott of Tushielaw and Scott of Thirlstane, which was fatal to the latter.'' Dryhope Haugh and the neighbourhood of Altrive Lake are localities in which cairns and tumuli were anciently raised. On the former stood a large cairn, known by the name of Herton's Hill.5 ETTRICK.

Before 1(550 the old parish of Rankilburn had been united to that of Yarrow, but in that year it was both ecclesiastically and civilly disjoined from Yarrow and united to Ettriek.s The surface of the parish of Ettrick is wholly mountainous, consisting of smooth, green, rounded hills, of which Ettrick Pen in the south-west rises to the height of 2200 feet above the level of the sea. Among the group of which it forms the most conspicuous are the sources of the river Ettrick, which, flowing thence in a north-east direction, and fed in its course by innumerable rivulets, nearly divides the parish iijto two equal parts. The most considerable of its tributaries are the Tiraa and the Rankilburn, both rising on the borders of Eskdale, and entering the Ettrick on the right. In the north-west of the parish rises the river Yarrow, the principal feeder of the Loch of Lowes (Blaeu's locus occidentalis Lobiorum or West-Mary Loh of the Lowes), whose northern margin forms part of the boundary between this parish and Yarrow. We have no early notice of Ettrick as a parish. Although its original boundary was distinctly defined in the reign of Alexander II., its name docs not appear in Baiamund's Roll, the Libellus Taxationum, or the Taxatio Eccl. Scot, sec. xvi. If not included among the ' Kirks of the Blessed Virgin,' that is, St. Mary's of the Lowes and other churches in Ettrick Forest, of which the advowson was given by David II. to the monks of Dryburgh,"* it probably continued a de- pendency of the Abbey of Slelros from its first foundation till it became a Protestant church. Previously to 1 235 there seems to have been no church within the territory known as Ettrick, which at that time is described as a waste. In that or the following year Alexander II. granted — to the monks of Melros his charter of Ettrick, the bounds of which are thus described ' our whole waste from the river of Ethryc ascending by the rivulet of Tynieye, as far as the bounds of Nigell de Heryz— thence ascending by the watershed between Ethric and Glenkery to the borders of Esckedal, and thence ascending westward by the watershed between Esckedal and Ethric as far as the mountain called Vnhende, and thence eastward along the watershed between Annandale and The Forest to the head of Rodanoch, and thence eastward by the watershed between The Forest and the land of Thomas de Hay, to the head of Copthra-werisclouch, and thence descending to the greater lake (doubtless St. Mary's Loch), and thence ascending by the lake to its head, and thence ascending southward to the rivulet of Wythhop, and thence ascending as far as Thyrlstangate, and along the same road to the head of Wulfliop, and thence descending by a sike to the rivulet of meikle Thyrlestan, and by the same rivulet descending to the river of Ethric, and by that river ascending as far as Tymeymuth.'^ For the territory thus bestowed the monks were to render to the King or his heirs for ever nothing but their prayers (praeter solas orationes.)^ And by a sub- sequent charter the King erected the lands of Ettrick into 'a free forest,' prohibiting all others with- out license from the monks to cut wood or to hunt within them, on pain of his full forfeiture of .£10.''

ETTRicK.] PAROCHIALES. 261 No addition appears to have been made to the monks' lands of Ettrick till 1415, almost two hundred years after, although before that time they had acquired the lands of BellenJen, sepa- rated from Ettrick by the parish of Rankilburn. In 1415 Robert Scott, laird of Rankilburn and Murdieston, ancestor of the Scotts of Buccleuch, with consent and assent of his son and heir Walter Scott, granted to the monks of Jlelros ' all his lands of Wynzehope west of the water of Temay that were called Glenkery, lying within the sheriffdom of Selkirk, between the monks' lands of Mighope at one part, and the lands of Etrike at another, and the lands of Dallies on the west—descending a certain rivulet to the said water of Temay, and beyond it ascendin" the boundary between Wynzehope and the said lands of Dalgles, east of the foresaid water of Temay, as far as a certain ditch surrounding twelve acres of meadow (which also he bestowed on the said monks) northwards—and again descending westwards to the said water of Temay, and thence — descending the same to the bounds of the lands of Mighope abovementioned' ' reserving only to himself and heirs the liberty of fishing and hunting within the said lands of Glenkery'— in exchange— for ' the lands of Bellinden, lying within the said sheriffdom of Selkirk, with perti- nents' ' reserving for ever to the same monks the liberty of fishing and hunting in the said lands of Bellinden.'' At the same time, and by virtue of the same charter, the tithes of both lands were exchanged, those of Glenkery to be appropriated to the monks, and those of Bellenden to the church of Rankilburn. The transaction was completed in the same year by a charter of Peter de Kokburne, laird of Henryland, of whom the lands of Glenkery were held, approving and con- firming the excambion for himself and heirs.^ In 143G James I., out of regard to John de Fogo, his confessor, and Abbot of Melros, con- firmed to him and to the monks the lands of Ethrik and Rodono, along with those of Carrik, and erected the whole into a free regality.^ In 1442 the same grant and privileges were confirmed by James II.,'* and although the exemption from the jurisdiction of the Forest courts thus secured to the dependents of the Abbey was for some time disputed by the Douglases, while lords of The Forest, it was at length in 1446 fully admitted by William earl of Douglas in a charter in which the men, servants, servitors, and indwellers of the monks, were finally and for ever declared freed from that jurisdiction.'' Thus was constituted what was thenceforth the part of the ' regality,' and also subsequently to the Reformation of the 'lordship' of Melros, in the county of Selkirk,^ with which the ancient parish appears to have been identical.

    2017 Diocesan House for Durham and Newcastle Dioceses Peace... 2 Dear Friends, What a busy year it has been! We celebrated our 70th Anniversary at a lovely garden party in June and it was a joy to share the day with so many of our friends and to see the house and grounds looking so beautiful. The Stirling Newall family, who gifted the house to the church 70 years ago, had a clear vision of what they wanted the house and grounds to be used for and I hope that we continue to hold true to that vision today; a place of retreat, refreshment and peace which is used both by church groups and by the wider community. With the approach of Autumn comes the changing Jane Easterby, Warden, the Ven. Ian Jagger, Archdeacon of Durham, the of colours in the gardens of Shepherds Dene and the Rt. Rev. Christine Hardman, Bishop of Newcastle, Campbell Grant, Chair bringing together of ideas for our new programme of of Trustees and the Rt Rev Frank White, recently retired Asst. Bishop of Newcastle, at the 70th Anniversary Celebration Garden Party in June. events for the end of 2016 and 2017.

    XIX.—Reginald, bishop of Bath (HJJfUgi); his episcopate, and his share in the building of the church of Wells. By the Rev. C. M. CHURCH, M.A., F.8.A., Sub-dean and Canon Residentiary of Wells. Read June 10, 1886. I VENTURE to think that bishop Eeginald Fitzjocelin deserves a place of higher honour in the history of the diocese, and of the fabric of the church of Wells, than has hitherto been accorded to him. His memory has been obscured by the traditionary fame of bishop Robert as the "author," and of bishop Jocelin as the "finisher," of the church of Wells; and the importance of his episcopate as a connecting link in the work of these two master-builders has been comparatively overlooked. The only authorities followed for the history of his episcopate have been the work of the Canon of Wells, printed by Wharton, in his Anglia Sacra, 1691, and bishop Godwin, in his Catalogue of the Bishops of England, 1601—1616. But Wharton, in his notes to the text of his author, comments on the scanty notice of bishop Reginald ;a and Archer, our local chronicler, complains of the unworthy treatment bishop Reginald had received from Godwin, also a canon of his own cathedral church.b a Reginaldi gesta historicus noster brevius quam pro viri dignitate enarravit.

    Battle Name: Philiphaugh Council area: Scottish Borders Date: 13th September 1645 UKFOC number: 278 PHILIPHAUGH 1 SUMMARY 1.1 CONTEXT After the success of Kilsyth, Montrose intended to recruit his army before attempting to complete his military control in Scotland. But his Highland troops were disaffected when their plundering of Glasgow was heavily punished and within a few days many had deserted. Aboyne also left with most of the cavalry when Montrose appointed the Earl of Crawford as commander of the horse, while some 800 were sent north to protect their lands, reducing the army to little more than the 500 Irish troops and a few cavalry. Marching east through the Lowlands he was unable to raise significant numbers of new recruits. Not only was much of the area strongly Covenanter, the Highland and Irish troops may also have been unwelcome in the region because of the long trail of plundering and disorder that they had wreaked across Scotland over the preceding year, at places as far apart as Glasgow and Aberdeen. Montrose marched into the Borders to disrupt the mustering of the Covenanter levies and then, turning south from Kelso to Jedburgh and then west to Selkirk, he camped on the 12th September at Philiphaugh. However he suffered from poor intelligence from his scouts, for he was unaware that, on the 6th September, Sir David Leslie had marched north from England with a large army. On the 11th Leslie had rendezvoused with Lothian forces at Gladsmuir (west of Haddington), and then again unbeknown to Montrose, marched south, approaching Selkirk on the night of the 12th (1) (6) (2).

    KEYNOTES April 2021

    KEY NOTES KIRKHOPE, ETTRICK & YARROW PARISH MAGAZINE April 2021 First words from Rev Margaret Steele Dear Friends God loved the world so much that He gave His Only Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 I wonder when these words first meant something to you? We come into this Easter time wondering what the future has in store for us as individuals and as churches as we begin the process of un-locking down! Things change yet God’s love remains constant. Karl Barth the great theologian, when asked what the most important message of the Bible was, quoted a hymn we all know from childhood – Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. In the midst of all the changes let us remember this truth – true for all people everywhere for all time. This Easter has seen our church buildings closed, yet our churches are alive with worship and our witness as we work together in our communities to help those in need. God’s church without walls is alive and well! I am very pleased to tell you the results of the vote on whether or not E&Y, Ashkirk and Selkirk should form a new linkage of churches. Overall votes: FOR linking 314, AGAINST 7, with 2 spoilt votes. (turnout was 97.8% of the voter roll) Ashkirk: for 27, against 1 (turnout 80%) Ettrick and Yarrow: for 87, against 3 (turnout 62.5%) Selkirk: for 200, against 3 with 2 invalid votes. (turn out 64.3%) The vote for linking Ettrick & Yarrow with Ashkirk and Selkirk was therefore overwhelmingly positive.

In Teviot and Liddesdale , people with an interest in CLD have been working towards this vision of Teviot and Liddesdale as a learning community: “A learning community seeks to address the learning needs of its locality through partnership. It uses the strengths of institutions, public, private and voluntary services, and community groups to enable young people and adults to achieve to their full potential. Learning communities use learning as a way to build community capacity, and to promote social cohesion, social inclusion, regeneration and economic development.” Learning in Scotland’s Communities, 2011 CLD Guidance and Regulations (Scottish Government, 2012 &13) place a duty on Scottish Borders Council to provide a 3 year plan for CLD.

For over 300 years, whilst Scotland and England fought battle after battle, those living on both sides of the border made a living by “reiving” or raiding their neighbours’ property. They had their own system of laws and justice, and introduced new words into the English language, such as “bereaved” and “blackmail”. Their first allegiance was to their own family and their surname. Kith and Kin meant everything to them.

This paper provides a summary of the long history of warfare and conflict in Scotland which has given rise to a large number of battlefield sites. Recent moves to highlight the archaeological importance of these sites, in the form of Historic Scotland’s Battlefields Inventory are discussed, along with some of the problems associated with the preservation and management of these important cultural sites. 2 Keywords Battlefields; Conflict Archaeology; Management 3 Introduction Battlefield archaeology is a relatively recent development within the field of historical archaeology, which, in the UK at least, has itself not long been established within the archaeological mainstream. Within the present context it is noteworthy that Scotland has played an important role in this process, with the first international conference devoted to battlefield archaeology taking place at the University of Glasgow in 2000 (Freeman and Pollard, 2001).
