On the east side of the churchyard a brook called the Pansayl falls into the Tweed, and there was this prophecy as to their union: "When Tweed and Pansayl join at Merlin's grave, Scotland and England shall one monarch have."
Sir Walter Scott tells us, in his "Border Minstrelsy," that on the day of the coronation of James VI. of Scotland the Tweed accordingly overflowed and joined the Pansayl at the prophet's grave. It was also claimed by one of the witnesses at the trial of Jeanne d'Arc, that there was a prediction by Merlin that France would be saved by a peasant girl from Lorraine.
