FOULDEN AND MORDINGTON.
F
_ OULDEN is a parish and village, the latter one of the
prettiest little places in the county, and was formerly a burgh of
barony. 52 miles e. by s. of Edinburgh, 10 e. of Dunse, and 5 n.e.
of Bor^^ick; pleasantly situated on tbe north side of the AVhite-
adder river, which is here confined between steep banks. Within
the last eighteen years the dwellings have been nearly all re-buiit
in a neat and picturesque style. John Wilkie, Esq. is superior of
the burgh. The parish, which lies in the eastern part of the Merse
district, is two and a half miles in length by two in breadth, bounded
by Ayton on the north and Hutton on the south, and contains about
8,278 acres. Fouldon church is celebrated as having been the
meeting place of the commissioners sent by Queen Elizabeth to
vindicate her execution of Mary Queen of Scots. In 1871 the
parish had a population of 425.
The parish of Mordington lies in the south-eastern coraer of
the county, and the kirk is about one mile from Foulden. It was
in the mansion house of Mordington that Cromwell, when he passed
the Tweed for the first time, established his quarters. It has been
erroneously asserted that the Princess Margaret was married to
James FV. in Lamberton church (now in ruins) in this parish. At
tbe boundary of the parish, with the liberties of Berwick, is the
toll-bar and hamlet of Lamberton; and at this place (within the
Scottish border) marriages were st)/f7)nit.rrf/in the same summary
manner, and on precisely the same principle, as they were at better
known Gretna. The remains of a Danish camp— Edrington Castle,
situate at top of a steep rock, and the "Witches' Know," 649 feet
high, where, little more than a century ago, several unfortunate
women were burnt for witchcraft — are objects not unworthy the
notice of the traveller journeying through this part of the county.
L'onstone some years ago was discovered within the parish, and
subsequently coal has been got on the estate of John Campbell
Renton, Esq., of Mordington House. The parish contains about
2,939 acres. Population in 1871, 402.
