In 1822, James, late Duke of .Roxburghe, converted the Berry Moss into one of the finest race-courses in the kingdom. It is a mile and a quarter round, sixty feet broad, and from there being no rising ground, the horses are seen distinctly from the starting till the termination of the race. On the west of the course is an elegant stand, with suitable accommodation. There is a spring and an autumn meeting, the latter often enhanced by the presence of the Caledonian Hunt. The first race run on the new course was in September, 1822.

When Malcolm IV. confirmed the grant of his grandfather David, ..
