This route would carry the road in a ftraight dire&ion from north-eaft to foufh-weft, and not in fo ftrange a courfe as Mr. Horfeley has given it, firft tending to the north-weft to Old Town, then turning nearly weft to Whitley Caftle, and then, and not before, proceeding to the fouth-weft. And this would carry it (I apprehend), nearly by Peebles to Appleby,, leaving Wlntley-Caftle a little diftant on the left, and pointing dire&ly jxito Lancafhire and Cheflrire. — " Notitia. — . 3+ Richard p, 28, and Notitia. —See Bede Eccl.
