Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text. Situation Beirhope is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders about 7 miles east of the historic former Royal Burgh of Jedburgh and 10 miles south of Kelso. Jedburgh and Kelso, with their ruined abbeys, are both bustling towns and popular tourist destinations and provide schooling, a modern health centre, shops, supermarkets, hotels and a range of professional services. Morebattle (approximately 4.5 miles) has a village shop, butcher, primary school and pub. The Scottish Borders has a vibrant agricultural community with a reputation for some of the finest produce and breeding stock in Scotland. Farming needs are well catered for in the locality and there are regular livestock markets in St Boswells, Longtown, Hexham and Carlisle. The Border Union Show at Springwood Park, Kelso in July is the highlight in the local farming calendar and, in September, Springwood Park also hosts the annual ram sale with some 5,000 rams from over 500 consignors.

    William Dawson (1734-1815): Improver and Philosopher

    William Dawson (1734-1815): Improver and Philosopher TONY VOSS In the heritage literature of Kelso and the Scottish Borders, the names of William Dawson ‘the improver’, and Thomas Pringle (1789-1834), ‘poet and philanthropist’, are often mentioned with honour. For a short while, when Dawson was approaching retirement and Pringle was still a schoolboy, they were neighbours, but the overall careers of the improver and the man who came to be known as ‘the father of South African English poetry’ could hardly have been more different. Thomas Pringle was born in the year of the French Revolution, but his early education and up-bringing in rural Roxburghshire in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries sprang from old Scottish traditional roots, on which Pringle continued to develop throughout his life. The Kelso Grammar School, to which Pringle was sent at the age of 13 in 1802, had been serving what George Elder Davie called ‘The Democratic Intellect’ since its foundation in the seventeenth century: the syllabus in which Pringle was schooled there may not have changed very much during that time. On the other hand, the Scottish Enlightenment had significant effects even in Kelso, and certainly when he got to Edinburgh University in 1802, Pringle seems to have been exposed to at least the afterglow of that intellectual movement. However, on the basis of what direct evidence we have, Pringle's individual initiatives as a student seem to have been evangelical in social direction, and romantic in literary emphasis. After he left the University, his undertakings in journalism and belles lettres, though unexceptionable and even honourable, were not able to exploit the radical moment of his time.

Bonnie Teviotdale John Halliday A circular walk through the heart of Teviotdale, linking the three villages of Crailing, Eckford and Nisbet. Passing through an area rich in history, plants and wildlife, the walk includes some glorious views. Just over 12.5 Miles (20 Km) long with a total ascent of just under 900 feet (270m). 1 Parts of the route are on the St Cuthbert’s Way and the Borders Abbeys Way and the way marking signs will have these indicators on them. However, in addition, the Crailing, Eckford and Nisbet Paths way marker will appear on significant indicator posts. Although the whole walk is circular, it is possible to walk parts of it. It divides easily into three stages and this is how it is laid out in this booklet. The route description in this booklet starts in Eckford and runs clockwise.

LONDON : SIMPKIN, MARSHALL & CO. 1876. ; PREFACE. Previous to his decease in 1874, the late Mr Walter Eiddell Carre had acquired a high reputation for his knowledge of Border men and women who had any claim to historical notice. During a succession of winters his lectures were heard with interest and appreciation in many Border towns and villages, as well as occasionally in Edinburgh. In the newspapers, instead of the brief paragraph usually accorded to popular lectures, the productions of Mr Eiddell Carre were always reported more or less fully, and the reports were perused with pleasure by a wide circle of readers. His speeches delivered at meetings of the Edinburgh Border Counties Association were always carefully prepared, and in them, as well as in communications to newspapers, he was often bringing to light some new information regarding Border celebrities of a past generation. "With him it was a labour of love to collect from scattered sources, and place in a compact form before a popular audi- ence, whatever was most characteristic of old Border worthies and in these pleasant avocations he was engaged when suddenly the strong frame was prostrated with disease, and death ensued after a very short and painful illness.

In order to satisfy these requirements as far as possible, rather more attention has been given to historical and dialectal notes than is usual or neces- sary in place-name studies.
