Built on very open gravel and sand, it has an exceedingly dry foundation. In none of the houses is anything like damp known; all the rain that falls runs off immediately, or vanishes in the ground. There are no dead pools or marshes in its vicinity; and the rivers on both sides remove from the town all liquid matter calculated to prove offensive. Unfortunately, however, this species of drainage is tending to pollute the hitherto pure and wholesome streams about Peebles. Eddleston Water, in particular, is beginning to be offensive during droughts in summer, and may seriously deteriorate the salubrity of the town. A remedy for this evil cannot be too soon applied. Not the least valuable of the attractions of Peebles are the numerous walks by river-side, hill, and bosky glen--open to all to roam about at pleasure. Nor will strangers who go to reside in the town or its neighbourhood, and whose means and aims are moderate, have any reason to find fault with the manners of the settled inhabitants. There is much social intercourse in an inexpensive way. The intemperance of the 'good old times' is greatly assuaged; and one hears much less frequently of 'Peebles arms, ' as three tumblers used to be facetiously called, than was the case fifty years ago. PEEBLES--PARISH. OCCUPYING the central part of the county, this parish extends about ten miles from north to south, and five miles from east to west, and contains a superficies of 18,210 acres. A hilly part of the parish in the south is included in Selkirkshire. Beginning near Cringletie, the parish comprises the lower part of the valley of Eddleston Water, then a section of the vale of Tweed above and below Peebles, and lastly the stretch of level fertile land..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Peeblesshire I Had long entertained a wish to write a history of my native county, but the obligations of a busy life, independently of other reasons, postponed the undertaking until, after an absence of six-and-thirty years, I returned to dwell amidst scenes, of which I had treasured up some recollections and traditions. I was not without an excuse for having formed this desire. The only available book on the subject was the Description of Tweeddale, by Dr Alexander Pennicuik of Romanno, issued originally in 1715, and re-issued with notes in 1815, by the late Mr Brown of Newhall. Besides being out of date, Pennicuiks work, though in many respects curious and valuable, is little else than a topographic and botanical recital. After making a survey of the county in 1775, Captain Armstrong issued his Companion to the Map of Tweeddale, but this tract, while embracing some useful facts, is also chiefly topographic, and has been long out of sight. The next book concerning the shire, was a General View of the Agriculture of the County of Peebles, by the Rev. Charles Findlater, minister of Newlands, issued in 1802.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was theology against politics. Ordinary men against changing systems of government and belief, fighting for what they believed was right. " The Bloody Covenant" tells the story of a period in which two rival forms of the same belief jostled to become the dominant theology in Scotland, and of how the Presbyterian covenants drove its followers into a century and a half of discrimination, violence and destruction. Of how the government of Great Britain and Ireland dealt with the northern threat of divided religious thought and the real danger of revolution. Ronald Ireland's account of the bloody history of the era is brought to life by following one ordinary man from one ordinary burgh of Scotland. An authoritative guide to how the big decisions made by some of most important people in the land affected individuals as well as the country as a whole, it is an essential and accessible read for anyone interested in the British civil wars of the seventeenth century.
