	Walk #109: Kirk Yetholm to Morebattle
		I arrived at Kirk Yetholm at 15.00, and in a moment of madness I decided to walk the seven miles to Morebattle rather than stay in Kirk Yetholm overnight and do the seventeen miles tomorrow.
		The views from the top of Wideopen Hill are very expansive - to the east is Kirk Yetholm and the Cheviots, and to the west can be seen the Waterloo Monument (near the campsite where I shall be spending tomorrow night) and the Eildon hills near Melrose at the end of St Cuthberts Way.
		Kirk Yetholm is well known as being the northern end-point of the Pennine Way, the place many people dream of during two or three weeks of trudging northwards.

	Rev. John Baird of Yetholm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The twin villages of Yetholm and Kirk Yetholm, near Kelso, were home to a large community of gypsies for more than 200 years.
		Baird was known for his interest in the historic colony of Scottish gypsies at Kirk Yetholm, because of this interest, and the concerns raised by the Quaker Society, Baird, in 1838, was asked to try out the plans which he had previously put forward to the Society for the Reformation of Gypsies, in Edinburgh.

	Pennine Way Diary 1991 Part 6
		Kirk Yetholm youth hostel is run by the Scottish Y.H.A., so I had been sent a voucher to use there, but somewhere on the way it had been lost.
		Arrival at Kirk Yetholm brought no sense of elation, mainly because it had been so enjoyable for most of the way and, with such beautiful weather and scenery to finish with, there was a touch of sadness that it had all come to an end.
		Perhaps those who do the final stage in one day have a great feeling of relief as they reach the end and, therefore, feel a much greater sense of achievement, but whether it is worth spoiling the enjoyment of the walk in order to do so is debatable.

	Esther Faa Blythe, The Faa Family, Famous Gypsies
		'With a dignified aspect, a large share of shrewdness, and a plausible manner with visitors to her shrine, which consisted of a neat little cottage on the outskirts of Kirk Yetholm, Queen Esther did what she could to maintain a fair position, but the effort was hopeless.
		The tinsel crown, her emblem of royalty, was somehow lost; and in March 1867, her income had become so precarious and insufficient that application for assistance was made on her behalf to the Parochial Board of Jedburgh, to which her husband, then deceased, had belonged.
		She much preferred Kirk Yetholm to Town Yetholm as 'Kirk Yetholm has the parish church and the wool manufactury (Blunty's Mill); Kirk Yetholm has the mill, and Kirk Yetholm has me.' In her later years she bemoaned the fact that those gypsies living in Kirk Yetholm were 'maistly Irish'.
