Auchencrow
Auchencrow ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Allt na Crà)) is a small village in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, by the Lammermuir range of hills, and near Reston.
==Etymology==
The modern name, Auchencrow, tends to obscure the question of origins. A Gaelic origin is accepted by Watson (1926, 138) and Nicholaisen (1976, 138). It is thought that the meaning is "achaidh na cra" "field of the tree or trees" This is apparently contradicted by the 12th-century name-form ‘Alden-’, also preserved, for example, in four 13th-century Durham charters. Mac an Tàilleir suggests the form ''Aldenacraw'' may be derived from a name for the watercourse (such as the Gaelic ''Allt na Crà'' "stream of the salmon trap") rather than the settlement itself.〔Mac an Tàilleir, Iain (2003) (''Placenames'' ). (pdf) Pàrlamaid na h-Alba. Retrieved 5 March 2010.〕
Something like ‘Halden’s Grave’ or ‘Halden’s Grove’ could be nearer the original idea, but it is more natural to use the current name, and to speak of the village of Auchencrow. This is itself a form only recently derived by folk-etymology from the much longerrunning ‘Edencraw’ or ‘Auchencrawe’: an evolution from Halden- to Alden- or Eden- to Auchenand from -grove/ -grave to -crawe to -crow.
James Hutton, the founder of modern geology, farmed two miles to the west. A James Hutton Trail was established in 2006.
