Description:
|
This map shows the changes made to the minor road leading from the main Hawick-Kelso road to the property of Nisbet Mill, near Nisbet, Roxburghshire, since enclosures took place. The old road is shown, along with the main Hawick-Kelso road, and the branch road to the village of Nisbet (the village is not shown on the map). The new road to the property of Nisbet Mill is shown in red. The map also details the agricultural and topographical features of the immediate area, showing the Teviot river, the dykes used to control it, a ford across it, the mill-lead from it, and the Jed Water, which joins it here, and has a bridge across it. It also notes that an area of the river which is now crossed by the new road is 'Gravel and Water', presumably to indicate that is fordable at that point, in the absence of a bridge. The boundaries of the properties of the two main landowners, the Marquess of Lothian and Lord Minto, are indicated, along with that of the holder of the property of Short Acres, on the way to Nisbet. It is not clear who has caused the enclosure.
