Notice of the Ancient Remains in Manor Parish and other Districts of Peeblesshire

In the uncultivated moors and glens of Scotland we occasionally meet with signs of primitive occupation by man, which are so difficult to decipher, from their almost complete dilapidation, that the most zealous investigator may well be excused, if at first sight he turns from them with indifference or despair. Viewed singly or in detail, they may seem to be rather accidental freaks of nature than evidences of man's handiwork; and it is only when we find, examples in somewhat better preservation than the mass, that we are convinced at once of their human origin, and of their archaeological importance
