Yair, Scottish Borders
Yair, also known as The Yair, is an estate in the Scottish Borders. It stands by the River Tweed in the former county of Selkirkshire, north-west of Selkirk, and south of Edinburgh. The name comes from the old Scots word for a fish trap. The estate is centred on Yair House, which is protected as a category A listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yair House: Listed Building Report )〕 The nearby Yair Bridge is also category A listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yair Bridge: Listed Building Report )〕
==History==
In 1156 King Malcolm allowed the monks of Kelso to build a dam on the River Tweed, creating a pool for fishing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yair Forest )〕
Yair House was built by Alexander Pringle of Whytbank (1747–1827) in 1788. It is a Georgian house of three storeys, with a large bay to the front.〔 Pringle made his fortune in India, and re-purchased the family estates on his return. These estates, which included Whytbank Tower on the north side of the river, had been Pringle property since the 16th century, but were sold in the early 18th century to pay debts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yair )〕 The designer of the new house was William Elliot,〔 a Kelso-based architect who designed The Haining in Selkirk, for another Pringle, in 1794.
Yair Bridge lies downstream from the house. It was constructed around 1764, and designed by the Edinburgh architect William Mylne (1734–1790). The three-arch stone bridge now carries the A707 across the Tweed.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yair Bridge )〕
