On Scotlands people a birth entry reads .... Thomas Douglass.. Herd? in Shotton & Oliver Young his spouse had a son born and baptised 21 first James ... May 10 1805 Yetholm because of the old hand writing some of this is hard to read .. what I am thinking is 'herd' might mean (and I know he was a shepherd) that he lived in or near Yetholm but his sheep herd was in Shotton Northumberland ?
He moved (with his family) up to Sutherland in about 1819 and is buried up there.
