THE L aswad e which s ub c ts parish of , in the j e of the pre sent description are situated , is esteemed one of the most picturesque and romantic in the South of Scotland . The

Nort h Esk has a most beautiful curr ent for several miles through its district ; and on the banks of that river are to be

u ar t h av e seen many of those favoured spots, which nat re and t combined o adorn to an uncommon degree . The winding

O a course of the river , appearing ften to lose itself mong the h a rocks its banks, whic are rem rkably bold and finely wooded ; the huge pieces of rock seen projecting at proper

intervals from among the trees , form an assemblage of grace

n o t as il to ful landscape e y be surpassed .

The political circumstances of L aswad e have produced to it also the most beneficial results . Manufactures have been

a to encourag ed ; improvements have been incre sing, so as d o ula emand a constant supply of industry , to which the p p tion of the district have sensibly acceded : these accordant m ediums of profit have induced the residence of t hehigher clas ses of gentry ; so that along the banks of the river is a constant succession of houses belonging t o the nobility a n d e other exalted characters ; particularly Melvill Castle , the

r V Marisban k seat of lo d iscount Melville , and , the seat of sir

Pen n cuick John Clerk , of y , near which is a mount of earth , said to have been a Roman station .

for them when the wind blows N . E . hard upo n the shore .

n Orford is a borough town , the corporation consisti g of a m ayor, recorder , eight portmen , and twelve capital burgesses ,

al - m e m i n l twenty two , in whom the right of electing two bers to serve in parliament is vested but even this limited

d its u and the ate of construction , are both nknown . Over

s ! some cro s over the centre . The chance end of the chapel

to having fallen ruins, h as been excluded from the west end , thee s till used for divine worship , by a wall built across ast end of the nave . This chancel appears, from its remains , to have been of a workmanship far Superior to the other port ion o f the edifice , and also of much higher antiquity, probably of a date anterior to the erection of the castle . The remains ’ o f th e ruinous part consist o f a doubl e ro w of fi v e thick co ! O AS RFORD C TLE .

St . Michaels , at about three miles to the north from the vil lage of Abbots Langley . The early years of Nicholas were n o t distinguished for any superior talents ; but, on the contrary , his intellects

th e appeared so dull and clouded , that he was refused ’ h habit of a monk in St . Alban s Abbey, in which he ad been placed .
