Haugh

The sheriff of the county of Lanark was holding the wappen-schaw of a wild district, called the Upper Ward of Clydesdale, on a haugh, or level plain, near to a royal borough, […]

The position of the playfield is here identified as lying north of this open space between it and the burn, and occupying the haugh which extended west […]

The cattle had […] loved their life in the haughs of Echt, south there across the uncouthy hills was a world cold and unchancy.

It was sung from the top of the oldest house in the burgh every June at the Common riding, which served both for a perambulation of the bounds of the common pastures or Haughs and to commemorate the young men of Harwick[.]
