“NORTH OF THE TWEED”
It is customary to speak' of Scotland as “North of the Tweed,” but the Tweed is the boundary between the two countries only in a small part of its course. It forms the division for about 16 miles, after which the line proceeds to the Cheviot mountains, which form the boundary for 25 miles. Next the line strikes on Korshope water, which is a small tributary of the Esk. The line then quits the Esk in a northern direction, and taking into England part of what was known as “The Debatable Land,” strikes on the small river Sark, which is the boundary to the Solway Firth. the great natural division on the west. Such in general is the entire boundary, extending from sea to sea, for about 100 miles.
