In 1772 Robert MARR & Peggy WILLIAMSON had a daughter Elizabeth born in Drygrange Boathouse in Melrose. Does anyone know of this location or anything about it? Many thanks Rob
Rob Sorry I can't help you with your query but do you know much about your MARRs? I have an Andrew Robert MARR m Mary Scott DODS in 1875. Mary was from Berwickshire but the MARRs were from Midlothian.

Hi Rob, Have you checked the Statistical Accounts for Scotland? http://edina.ac.uk/statacc/ You might not find quite what you are looking for, but these accounts, written 1791-1799, and again in 1845, make very interesting reading. The Genuki Roxburghshire Gazetteer mentions Drygrange Boathouse and Drygrange Flybridge.
