Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, Vol. 9: With an Abstract of the Proceedings, the Premiums Offered by the Society in 1877, and List of Members (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, Vol. 9: With an Abstract of the Proceedings, the Premiums Offered by the Society in 1877, and List of Members The agriculture of the Lothians already possesses a considerable literature, especially the county of Haddington, which has often formed the subject of essays, reports, and reviews. In the present paper it is our intention to describe the agriculture of Mid and West Lothian, which are embraced in the counties of Edinburgh and Linlithgow. The two Lothians under consideration lie side by side, and on the north are washed by the waters of the estuary of the river Forth. They are therefore situated in the eastern part of the southern division of Scotland. The figure of Edinburgh proximates closely to that of a half moon, resembling, on a coloured map, the outstretched wings of a butterfly. Its extreme length from east to west is about 36 miles, and its breadth from north to south about 24 miles. The superficial area was computed by the authors of "Caledonia," and of the "Agricultural Survey of Mid-Lothian," at 229,120 and 227,832 imperial acres respectively; but more recently it has been ascertained on reliable authority, that the area is 367 square miles, or 234,926 statute acres. Mid-Lothian lies between 55 39' 30" and 55 59' 20" north latitude, and between 2 52' and 3 45' 10" longitude west from Greenwich.
