Old Photographs Ancrum Scotland
Old photograph of Ancrum located four miles North of Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland. Two local landmarks which are visible from certain areas around the village are the Waterloo Monument and the Timpendean Tower. This Scottish village sits in a loop in the Ale Water which is where the name derives from, crooked land on the Ale. The Ale joins the Teviot just to the south which in turn then flows past Monteviot House which is home of Lord Ancrum. The original name of the village was Ancram, as in Earl of Ancram, Marquess of Lothian and Baron Teviot. The area just north of the village was the site of the Battle of Ancrum Moor in 1545.
