Berwickshire / Re: Churches and Parishes in Berwickshire

the parish of edrom comprises (currently) 3 villages, Edrom, Allanton and whitsome.  Allanton is/was the estate village of Blackadder House, now demolished.   The Blackadders were a very important family in Berwickshire who built the original house, but in more recent centuries it passed into the hands of the Humes, then the Houston Boswells.  the estate was sold off and the house demolished in about 1926.  see Genuki website, or that of the Heritage Hub Hawick.
