| CRAILING [parish] | Crailing | New Statistical Account Fullerton's Gazetteer The County Map |
015; 021 | The parish of Crailing consists of the old parish, and of Nisbet: the former on the South, and the latter on the North of the Teviot. The origin of the name of Crailing Cannot be easily traced. Both Lower, and Upper Crailing stand on Oxnam Water, which runs rapidly over a freestone rock, with banks steep, and craggy: thus Crai-lyn, in the Cambro-British speech signifies the Brisk-pool. And, this name may have been given, by the British settlers, on the Oxnam, from the usual ebullitions of this mountain stream: Craig-lyn, in the same language, signifies the Rock-pool. And Crea-linn, in the Gaelic, signifies the Clay-pool. The old parish of Crailing is intersected, from South to North, by the Oxnam Water, which here enters the Teviot immediately above, on the Oxnam, lies the Barony of Upper Crailing, which is now included in Jedburgh Parish - |
