CHEVIOT, (Northumberland) to the S. W. of Wooller, on the b. of Scotland, is famous for the free chace, much used here by
the English and Scots gentry, the property of which was Ld. Meinil's, in the R. of Edw. III. The adjacent country being
hilly is called the Cheviot-Hills, of which one is so high, that 'tis seen 60 m. off; and near the chace are some fenny
grounds, called the Cheviot-Moors. This is the Cheviot famous for the fierce encounter bet. the English and Scots, under
the Earls Piercy and Douglas, which is celebrated in that excellent ballad of Chevy Chace.
