Ancrum
Ancrum ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Alan Crom)) is a village in the Borders area of Scotland, 5 km north west of Jedburgh. The village — which currently has a population of around 300 — is situated just off the A68 trunk road on the B6400 which runs through Ancrum. Lilliesleaf lies further along the B6400 and Denholm can be reached along the unclassified road which runs parallel to the River Teviot. ==Etymology==
William J. Watson derived ''Ancrum'' from the river-name Alne + Cumbric ''crwm'' or Gaelic ''crom'', meaning 'bend of the river Alne'. Subsequent commentators have agreed.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕 The name of the village appears in some surnames as "Ancram", as in "Earl of Ancram" - see Michael Ancram, Marquess of Lothian and Baron Teviot.
