ROSS, a fishing-village (small), in the parish of MoRDiNGTON, county of Berwick, 2^ miles (S. S. E.) from Eyemouth. This place is situated on the sea-shore, at the base of an almost perpendicular mass of rock which rises to a considerable height immediately behind it; and a small rivulet issuing from a fissure in the rocks, and forming some beautiful cascades in its descent, gives a peculiarly romantic effect to the few scattered cottages of which the village consists. It is inhabited chiefly by persons employed in the fishery off the coast, which is very abundant in various kinds of fish. The principal are cod, ling, and haddock, which are taken in great quantities and sent to Edinburgh. Lobsters and crabs of good quality are also taken during the season, the former of which are shipped on board the smacks passing this part of the coast, and thus forwarded to London. Salmon are frequently taken, generally with bag-nets, but not in sufficient numbers to form an article of merchandise.
