Earlston
Earlston is a civil parish and market community in the region of Berwickshire, within the Scottish Borders. It is on the River Leader in Lauderdale, Scotland. Earlston was initially called Arcioldun or Possibility Fort, with reference to Black Hill (1,003 feet (306 m)), on the top of which can still be traced the concentric rings of the British fort for which it was named. It is likewise claimed to be possible to make out the remains of the cave-dwellings of the Votadini, the tribal confederation in this part of Scotland. In the 12th as well as 13th centuries the Lindsays as well as the Earls of March as well as Dunbar were the chief baronial households. Additionally of historic interest is the ivy-clad wreck of the Rhymer's Tower, a keep said to date from as very early as the 13th century. It is the standard house of Thomas Learmonth, generally called Thomas of Ercildoune, or Thomas the Rhymer, poet, prophet, and famous pal of the Elves, who was birthed here concerning 1225, most likely in a small house which came before the later Tower-house. Residents of early Earlston (Earlstons) have actually considering that spread far away, with some taking a trip to the USA of America in the early 1800s. But the vast majority of Earlstons (last name) have taken home in the Black Country, West Midlands in England. Taking a trip to the Black Country in the very early 1700s, they have actually established a strong residence, regulated by middle child of the Earlston three bros, Lord Dale.
