Low Cocklaw history

---

Low Cocklaw is situated close to the ancient borough boundary of Berwick-upon-Tweed, which now forms part of the border between England and Scotland. A road or track runs along this part and, in the past, was a route allowing horse-drawn wagons travelling from England to Scotland to by-pass tolls through Berwick.

Low Cocklaw etymology

Allen Mawer tentatively identified the early place-name Creklawe~Crokelawlawe attested in 1296 with Cocklaw. If so, the initial cr- points to a Cumbric origin. But if this identification is incorrect, Cocklaw would more obviously be an entirely Old English word.
