"On Bowden Moor, Near The Lase Of The Eildon Hills, And About Half A Mile Distance From Town Of Melrose"
How I wish all enumerators had been so dilligent!
Btw, this is the address for Roxburgh Berwick and Selkirk District Lulatic Asylum.

The Devil is in the Detail
Usually the addresses on Census Returns are basic to say the least. Had to laugh when I came across this one on the 1881 Census

Hello Sandy,
Especially those places right out in the sticks with funny names.
With those directions even I could find it. Also known as Melrose Asylum and since converted to flats. I suspect this was the main entrance. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=55 ... 61,,0,4.59
All the best,
