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. The spectacular rolling landscape of the Cheviot Hills offers unrivalled scenic beauty and the area is renowned for its wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities with a strong equestrian tradition. High quality pheasant and partridge shooting is available locally and the river Tweed is famous for its salmon fishing. It is possible to hunt with a number of different packs including the local hunt the Jed Forest and also the Duke of Buccleuch’s and Border Hunts. There are frequent National Hunt race meetings at Kelso (10 miles) and the golfer can take on the championship Roxburghe course. History The earliest record of Beirhope forming part of the Roxburghe Estates dates from 1718 when part was acquired by the Kers of Cessford but by 1732 the whole of the present farm was owned and let at a rent of £51pa. In 1838 the farm was let to James Shiell, beginning a long association with the Shiell family which continued until November 2013 on the retirement of George Shiell, great grandson of James.

The Scottish Iron Age provides rich data of international quality to link into broader, European-wide research questions, such as that from wetlands and the well-preserved and deeply-stratified settlement sites of the Atlantic zone, from crannog sites and from burnt-down buildings. The nature of domestic architecture, the movement of people and resources, the spread of ideas and the impact of Rome are examples of topics that can be explored using Scottish evidence. The period is therefore important for understanding later prehistoric society, both in Scotland and across Europe. There is a long tradition of research on which to build, stretching back to antiquarian work, which represents a considerable archival resource.

  • Geological Account of Roxburghshire. by DAVID MILNE, Esq., F.R.S.E
    ( 433 ) XXXII.—Geological Account of Roxburghshire. By DAVID MILNE, Esq., F.R.S.E. ••\ [Read 5th December 1842 and 9th January 1843.] IT seems extraordinary, that no one should have undertaken a geological sur- vey of Roxburghshire, more especially as the counties to the east and west of it have been examined, and accounts of their formations were published some years ago. It cannot be from its uninteresting character, that the intervening dis- trict has been neglected; for it presents as great a variety of apparently distinct formations, as there are in the adjoining counties of Dumfries and Berwick; and some of these have long been the special subjects of speculation and controversy among geologists. The British Association, in the Report of its Meeting held at Cambridge in 1833, propounded the following questions for geological inquiry. " 1. Is the red sandstone of Kelso contemporaneous with that of Salisbury Crags; and what relation do they respectively bear to the adjacent coal-fields ? " 2. What is the exact northern boundary of the coal-field of the River Liddell f " 3. What are the relations as to age of the two series of whin-rocks, one running north-east along the Liddell in Roxburghshire, the other south-east in the neighbourhood of Melrose and Jedburgh f These questions show the opinion entertained by the Geological Section of the Association, as to the interesting geological character of Roxburghshire. But the questions which they propounded have never received an answer; a result not surprising in regard to the last of these questions, as it calls for an explanation of facts which really have no existence.

Timpendean – In the ‘Muir’ and surrounding woods is evidence of several oval British camps and one of Roman construction on which has been built the border tower (initially a fortified tower house) of Timpendean. On the Muir are several tumuli (mounds of earth and/or stone – they could be burial sites?). Several of the tumuli were opened without result, only one with remarkable features.

JACK, 92, PRINCES STREET. «*%« PEEFACE, In presenting to the public the second volume of the History and Antiquities of Roxburghshire, the author, while acknowledging with gratitude the kindness and encouragement with which he has been honoured since the commencement of the work, has to express regret at the long period which has elapsed since the publication of the first volume. The preparation of a work of the kind, requiring scrupulous accuracy and fidelity, is of itself a laborious task ; but, when added, as in the present instance, to heavy professional duties, only a few can appreciate the severity of the toil. The work was intended to have been confined to two volumes, but the author had not proceeded far with the present volume when he found it impossible to condense the materials within such limits, and do anything like justice to the subject.
