Allanbank, an estate in Edrom parish, Berwickshire, on the S bank of the Whitadder, 1½ mile E by S of Edrom station. On it stood the ancient mansion of the Stuarts, Baronets of Nova Scotia from 1687 to 1849, which was haunted by ' Pearlin Jane, ' the skeleton of a jilted Italian lady. Allanbank is also celebrated as the spot where in 1674 Blackadder, Welsh, and three other ministers dispensed the Communion to 3200 Covenanters (Lander's Scottish Rivers, pp. 218-225).
