Excerpt from The Statistical Account of Peebles-Shire I. - Topography and Natural History. Name and Boundaries. - In the grant made by David II. of some of the Burgh mails, the name is spelled Peblys: but the ordinary spelling in the old records is Peblis and Pebblis. In the oldest record belonging to the Presbytery, extending from 1596 to 1600, the name is almost uniformly written as at present, Peebles. In the next oldest record, from 1603 to 1624, it is generally spelled Peibles. The author of Caledonia, after an indifferent sarcasm against Dr Dalgliesh in the former Account, for deriving the name from the pebbles with which the soil abounds, deduces it from the Celtic word Pebyll, corresponding with the Saxon word Shiels, and signifying moveable dwellings or temporary encampments. The parish is bounded on the south by Manor and Yarrow; on the west, by Lyne, Stobo, and Manor; southeast, by Yarrow and Traquair; east, by Innerleithen; and north, by Eddlestone. From east to west it extends about six miles, and from north to south about ten; but the most southern part, stretching three or four miles into Selkirkshire, is uninhabited. The burgh may be considered as the centre of the parish; and none of the inhabitants are above 3 miles from the parish church. The parish is calculated by the author of the "Companion to the Map of Tweeddale" to contain 18,210 acres; which calculation was submitted to the Court of Teinds in 1821, and sustained. Topographical Appearances. - The general aspect of the parish is hilly, except along the banks of the Eddlestone water and the Tweed, on the latter of which is a vale of considerable size, commencing at Peebles, and extending to the extremity of the parish towards the east. None of the hills rise to a great height, as in some of the neighbouring parishes. They are, for the most part, grassy, except those towards the south, which are covered with heather, and abound in grouse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books.

Shuckburgh, and yet the rapidity of its course seems infinitely greater than that of the Tweed. This can be accounted for, only by the fact, that the arrowy Rhone, with its great mass of water, runs almost in a straight line.
