history |
A burgh of barony, Coldstream was unusual in lying within two baronies: Coldstream (superior the Earl of Haddington) and Hirsel (superior the Earl of Home). Jurisdiction was exercised by a bailie appointed jointly by the two superiors. In 1833 Coldstream adopted police burgh status under the Act 3 & 4 Will. IV, c.46. The main records of the burgh are in the custody of Borders Regional Council. |
