Lintalee, an estate, with a mansion, in Jedburgh parish, Roxburghshire, on the left bank of Jed Water, 1¾ mile S by W of Jedburgh town. It contains the famous camp formed by Douglas in the time of Robert Bruce for defence of the Borders, and described by Barbour. The camp was defended, partly by a deep ravine, partly by a precipitous bank of the Jed, partly by an artificial double rampart. Lintalee Cave, in the steep bank of the Jed, once used as a place of refuge, disappeared through a landslip in 1866.—Ord. Sur., sh. 17, 1864.
