16 September 1920 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Fine forenoon. Heavy dew: possibly on the verge of frost. Rain came on about 4. Cycled to South Port, Beechbank + Elmrow + then motored taking Tom [Alexander] down Forest Road, Yarrowford, Cannon Street, Faldonside, Bemersyde Hill, Merton Bridge + St Boswells, getting back at 2. We went to Wellwood for tea. Mrs Geo. Roberts1 there. Saw Jack’s horses after2.
