of a tangible nature. Kelso Abbey, the Knights Templars, 

 and Newminster Abbey appear to have sei^ved themselves heirs 

 to some of the Church possessions that survived the wreck 

 of Lindisfarne. 



The notice of the Kelso property I take in the meantime 

 from Morton's Monastic Annals of Tevxotdale^ who has translated 

 the charter. Robert de Schottun, or Scottoun, in the time of 

 Alexander II. of Scotland (1214-124:9) gave 5 acres in Schottun 

 in Northumberland, on the West side of the road, beside the 

 burn which divides England and Scotland near Yetholm.

 from Jetam, and along this way to the two great stones
