The New Student's Reference Work/Cheviot Hills

Cheviot (chē′vḗ-ŭt) Hills, a mountain range in Northumberland and Roxburgh Counties, on the English and Scotch borders, 35 miles long. These hills are used as pasture-lands by the fine Cheviot breed of sheep. Here were fought many bloody battles between the Scotch and the English, and the name is commemorated in the famous old ballad of Chevy Chase.
