Merse, the most southerly division of Berwickshire, but popularly the whole of Berwickshire, and in either sense the largest and richest tract of champaign country in Scotland; in ancient times it included all the flat country between the Lammermuirs and the Cheviots, and was called March, a form of the name which gives the title of Earl of March to the Earl of Wemyss.
