as seats by tribesmen at their tribal assemblies. No. 10 is a general view of the site occupied by these stone monuments. 11. THE AULD CA-KNOWE: CALLING THE BURGESS ROLL AT HAWICK (reprinted from Craig and Laing's _Hawick Tradition_) 98 12. THE HAWICK MOAT AT SUNRISE (reprinted from Craig and Laing) 99 The tribal gathering is well illustrated by No. 11, and the moat hill is shown in No. 12. 13.
