Melrose, Scottish Borders history
The original Melrose was Mailros, meaning “the bare peninsula” in Old Welsh or Brythonic. This referred to a neck of land by the River Tweed several miles east of the present town. In the 6th century a monastery was founded associated with St Cuthbert. It was recorded by Bede, and also in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with the name Magilros. This monastery and settlement, later known as “Old Melrose”, were long abandoned by the 12th century. King David I of Scotland took the throne in 1124, and sought to create a new Cistercian monastery.
