UPSETLINGTON, a village, in the parish of LadyKirK,
county of Berwick, 1 mile (S. W. by W.) from
Norham, in England; containing 99 inhabitants. This
place, though at present only a small village, was the
head of the parish of the same name, now the parish of
Ladykirk, which appellation was acquired from the erection
of a new church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, by
James IV., at the commencement of the fifteenth century.
It is pleasantly situated on the river Tweed, and
its inhabitants are partly employed in salmon-fishing.
There are some vestiges of an ancient monastery, consisting,
however, of little more than the site, still called
Chapel Park, in which are three springs, the Nuns', the
Monks', and St. Mary's wells.
