Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Statistical Account of Scotland, Vol. 3 I.-Topography and Natural History. Name.-The name of this parish appears to have been at a former period indiscriminately written, Gredworde, Jedworth, Jedwood, and Jedburgh. The name of the river, which is the only essential part of these compounds, being anciently written Ged, and perhaps Oad, has given rise to the probable conjecture, that this was the principal seat of the Gadeni, a tribe who inhabited the district between the river Tiviot and Northumberland. Extent, &c.- The parish consists of two detached portions, which are in figure exceedingly irregular. The first or lower division, (in which is situate the town of Jedburgh in Long. W10W. in time and Lat bb 28 45 N.)is in some places seven miles long and five broad; and the second, or higher division, is five miles long and four broad. The whole parish contains 38 square miles. It is bounded by the parishes of Ancrum and Crailing on the north; by Oxnam and Eckford on the east; by Bedrule and Southdean on the west; and by the county of Northumberland on the south. It is intersected by Oxnam and Southdean. Topographical Appearances.-The surface is greatly diversified, presenting an agreeable variety of hills and valleys. Through its centre runs the deep sinuous valley of the Jed; whilst the higher ground on either side, indented by numerous ravines, rises by an undulating ascent to the height of nearly 300 feet above the level of the river. The highest hill in the neighbourhood of Jedburgh is the Dunian, which is 1120 feet above the level of the sea; but its summit is in the parish of Bedrule. In the higher part of the parish, there are several beautiful green hills of a conical form, two of which are upwards of 1100 feet above the sea; but, being situate near the Carter Fell, a mountain of the Cheviot range, the height of which is 2020 feet, their elevation is not conspicuous. Climate.-The climate varies considerably. In Jedburgh and Roxburgh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
