To reach Brigham, Scotland, via the east coast, you change atBerwick and go to Coldstream; whence a four-mile drive is madeover fine roads, through a beautiful rolling country of first-classfarms. Brigham is a single street a mile long, made up chiefly ofone-story scattered cottages, including ale-houses and a post-office.A few cots are ruinous, and others have been pulled down.
