The soil of the arable lands is loamy, clayey, or gravellj'. Less than one-sixth of the entire area is in tillage ; planta- tions cover some 600 acres ; and the rest of the land is pastoral or waste. The Cheviot breed of sheep is in great favour, and has been brought to a condition ol high excellence. A weak chalybeate spring near Fair- loans enjoyed once some medicinal repute, but went eventually into neglect. The Roman Watling Street from Yorkshire to the Lothians, running 7J miles along the ...eastern and north-eastern boundary, remains throughout much of its length in good preserva- tion ; is still used as a drove road ; and once was a favourite camping-ground of Border Gypsies. Other antiquities are a fairly entire Caledonian stone circle, remains of another stone circle, several circular camps, vestiges of DoLrHiSTON and two other mediaval forta- lices, and remains of a pre-Eefomiation chapel. The Rev. Thomas Boston, one of the founders of the Relief Church, was minister for some time prior to 1757.
