A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Birns, a rivulet of Haddingtonshire, rising on the Wside of Lammer Law (1733 feet), near the Berwickshire boundary, and running some 7 miles north-westward along the boundary between Humbie and Pencaitland parishes on the left, and Yester, Bolton, and Salton parishes on the right, to a confluence with the Tyne, 1 mile E of Wester Pencaitland village. Its volume here is rather larger than that of the Tyne.
