Description:
|
This manuscript plan, dated to 1605, was drawn in connection with a dispute over property on the border between Scotland and England at Hadden Rig, near Kelso. The plan is coloured with a decorated border and cartouche. Burns are coloured blue. Two possible marches between the lands of Sir John Carr, Sir Raphe Graie [Grey] and Mr Foster are shown with dotted lines, one coloured yellow, the other red. Both marches are indicated by landmarks including several burns, a well, two grey stones and three named cairns, drawn as little stone mounds. The use of prehistoric monuments as boundary marks has sometimes prevented them from being destroyed by land improvements.
