VOL. XXVII. PART IV. 
16. On each side of the burn, and more particularly 
on its west or right bank, there is a terrace 
bounded by a steep bank, the base of which is 
about 40 feet above the river. The north 
bank of the Tweed is here about 117 feet high ; 
and it is through this bank, consisting entirely 
of sand and fine gravel, that a small stream 
has excavated a valley, leaving a terrace on 
each side at the height above mentioned.
