Cheviot Hills Cheviot Hills Fullertons Gazetteer On Sheet A range of mountains to the South of
New Statistical Account 14.9 Scotland, separating throughout a considerable
Map of Northumberland extent the Kingdoms of England & Scotland
Some regard this chain as commencing
at Loch Ryan in the West, and extending
with occasional interruptions, to the head
of the Northumberland Beaumont, but,
the Cheviots, commonly so called, lie on the borders of Roxburgh and
Northumberland and may be regarded as commencing in the East
with Cheviot-Hill and its eastern & Northern slopes in the parishes of
Yetholm & Kirknewton including a projecting span in the extreme S land
of Ford Parish – The principal pass in the range is that known by the
name of Carter Bar – by which the road from Jedburgh to Newcastle
enters England
