Description: 
This map shows Greenlaw Moor and Polwarth Moor, outside the villages of Greenlaw, north of Kelso, and Polwarth, south of Duns, in Berwickshire. All the land in this area was the property of Alexander Hume, second Earl of Marchmont, as the title of the map notes. No farms or settlements are shown on here, but the march boundaries are labelled in detail, showing the names of some of the neighbouring properties, such as Whiteside, Eastfield and Wood Heads, all of which are still on the modern maps. A table in the bottom right hand corner, lists the acreage of each moor, and the total of both of them together. The map also shows the road to Dunbar in red, and two local burns, the Howe Burn and the Foul Burn, including the ford where the Dunbar road crosses the Howe Burn. It also labels the Polwarth Mill Haugh.
