This thesis has been produced under the conditi of the Gatty (Florence Emily and Charles Tindal) Memorial Scholarship, the holder of which "must pursue advanced study or research in Scottish Language and Literature with special reference to dialects on both sides of the border and to such border antiquities and music as bear on the subject". 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. The following work is intended as a survey of Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian place-name. material in the Border Counties. I have tried to demonstrate ; chat types of names occur, where they are situated, and roughly to what period they belong. Thus it has been more convenient to group the names under their endings than to arrange them by parishes in the mannet of the English Place-Name Society's volumes. It is almost impossible to date Scottish place- s with any certainty since spellings for the jority are not found before the 13th Century, but iii. they be under three headings generally may classified (a) Old English; (b) Middle English i (c) Scandinavian, and Middle English of Scandinavian origin. Between the first two classes is there must be a good deal of overlapping. It known that names in -Ling, -ingahäm, -i, ngtün and -ham the OE but probably ceased to be formed after period, in Eng- many of the other habitational endings which land belong. to this time must have continued to be formed at a much later date in the North. Similarly many of the names classified as Middle English may belong to the OE period. It has been my practice to count as an ending second element of each name if a habitative or topo- graphical term.. Thus Torvioodlee is discussed under 1-wood and Capehope Burn under -hope. Only the main, or original, parts of names are of importance in a survey of this kind, and so where groups occur such as Caverton, C, Mains, C--- Hillhead, Ce.. Mill, I ha dealt only with the basic name, Caverton. Names which do not appear in the 1 inch. Ordnance Survey maps, but which are found in sources before 1600, have been used for purposes of illustration and comparison. In most cases I have not consulted the 6 inch maps in attempts to locate these or other minor names .- The phonetic symbols used in the transcription of place-name pronunciations are those normally employed by the E. P. N. S. 6 iv. GEOGRAPHY and DIALECT. The Border area of Scotland divides into three main sections, the lowlands of Berwick and the Tweed- Teviot river basins on the north, a central mass of mountainous country, and the plain of Dumfries in the south. Berwickshire is cut off from Lothian by the Lammermoor Hills, through the western part of which, however, runs the valley of Lauderdale, the main in- land route from Lower Tweeddale to the north. The Merse is the continuation of the Northumbrian plain and stretches to the base of the Lammermoors. The parishes of Stichill, Ednam, Smailholm and Makerstoun, although part of this area, belong to Roxburghshire. The dialect of Berwick and Lothian is known as East Mi Scots. The main districts of Roxburgh are the valleys of the Tweed, Teviot and their tributaries. ' In the south are the Cheviot Hills through which passes lead to England.. To the. west is the watershed between Rox- burgh and Dumfries. At least half the area of the county lies more than 500 feet above sea-level. The parish of Castleton is mainly on the Liddel which V. drains to the Solway, and is really a separate dialect in area from the rest of Roxburgh, having affinities speech and in place-name forms with Dumfries and Cumberland (Watson, 6). Selkirkshire, which comprises mainly the valleys of the Ettrick and Yarrow and of a short stretch of the Tweed, is separated from Roxburgh by a watershed, although the parish of Ashkirk is on the Ale which flows into the Teviot. The dialect of the shire be- longs to the Southern Scots group which includes Roxburgh, Eskdale and Annandale (SND, Map 2). The place-names show a marked proportion of Gaelic forms which links the area with Peeblesshire, rather than with the other three Border counties in this respect. The greater part of Dumfriesshire belongs geo- graphically to the plain of Cumberland. All the rivers drain to the Solway. To the north are the Lowther Hills which divide Dumfries from Lanark, Peebles, Selkirk and Roxburgh. Nithsdale, at the head of which a pass leads into Ayrshire, is a separate dialect unit mich belongs to the West Mid Scots group. Gaelic infiuencejs very strong in place-names north and west of the Nith. Place-name forms before 1600 do not give much vi. indication of dialect distinctions, since these did not occur to any great extent until the end of the M.: period. It is not until the 16th and 17th centuries that occasional spellings reveal phonetic variations. Distinctions are more noticeable in vocabulary, in thi choice of place-name elements rather than in their form. Differences in pronunciation are found in the modern spoken versions. of the names rather than in their present spellings which have been reduced to a common Scots form. KXK Modern Lowland Scots is a development of the Old Northumbrian dialect of Old English, through Northern Middle English and Middle Soots. ' Only some half dozen place-names have spellings which go back to the OE period. A few late 11th Con- spellings found in the Durham Chartulary may be classe as very late OE or early ME. From late 12th Cent. tc mid 14th Cent. the language of the examples is Norther ME. Middle Scots continues until the late 16th Cent. Below are listed some of the developments observ- able between 0 Nb. and Mod. Sc. in the place-name forms Which have been collected. vii. ab a, 1. ?1E ä, whether from OE or ON is frequently fronted toe in M Sc. or early Mod. Sc.

ME Alis is the first element of Ellisland (No. LII). 2. OE ä is already fronted to I E: J in N ME. In spellings up to 1400 it is still a, but in the hi Sc. period is represented ai, ay. The i, y is used with all vowels in M Sc. to represent length.

DESCRIPTION Allanton is located just over 7 miles from Duns and just under 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The population of Allanton in the 2001 Census was 86. The village is located within the Eastern Strategic Development Area (SDA) as defined by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Allanton is located above the riverbanks of the Blackadder Water and Whiteadder Water which meet just north of the village. The character of Allanton is largely defined by the fact that it developed as an estate village of Blackadder House; splay fronted lodges display the old entrance and the village has developed around them in a linear fashion along the road.

  • Settlement Profile Jedburgh
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area.

    Dumfriesshire Rare Plant Register 2020 Christopher Miles An account of the known distribution of the rare or scarce native plants in Dumfriesshire up to the end of 2019 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Holy Grass, Hierochloe odorata Black Esk July 2019 2 Rare Plant Register Dumfriesshire 2020 Acknowledgements My thanks go to all those who have contributed plant records in Dumfriesshire over the years. Many people have between them provided hundreds or thousands of records and this publication would not have been possible without them. More particularly, before my recording from 1996 onwards, plant records have been collected and collated in three distinct periods since the nineteenth century by previous botanists working in Dumfriesshire. The first of these was George F. Scott- Elliot. He was an eminent explorer and botanist who edited the first and only Flora so far published for Dumfriesshire in 1896. His work was greatly aided by other contributing botanists probably most notably Mr J.T. Johnstone and Mr W. Stevens. The second was Humphrey Milne-Redhead who was a GP in Mainsriddle in Kircudbrightshire from 1947. He was both the vice county recorder for Bryophytes and for Higher Plants for all three Dumfries and Galloway vice counties! During his time the first systematic recording was stimulated by work for the first Atlas of the British Flora (1962). He published a checklist in 1971/72. The third period of recording was between 1975 and 1993 led by Stuart Martin and particularly Mary Martin after Stuart’s death. Mary in particular continued systematic recording and recorded for the monitoring scheme in 1987/88.

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. Their enemies were not the English or the Scots, Chartered Accountants but any surnames at feud with them, no matter which side of the border they occupied. Do you have a Border Reiver surname? In 2019 Hawick Reivers Festival welcomes We’ll do the counting you to explore your family’s past with us here in the heart of reiving country.
