Cummertrees is a coastal village and civil parish of Annandale in Dumfries and Galloway. It lies about a mile inland, on the Pow Water, twelve miles from Dumfries, and three from Annan. ==Etymology== Cummertrees, recorded as ''Cumbertres'' in 1204 and 1207, is probably of Cumbric origin. The second element represents '' *tres'' 'strife, tumult, violence', cognate with Welsh ''tres'' and Gaelic ''treas''.〔 The first element is '' *cümber, cömber'' 'confluence.〔〔 Andrew Breeze proposes the meaning 'confluence of turbulent water'.〔 Alan James suggests that '' *tres'' may have been a stream-name.〔 However, James notes that the first element may represent '' *cömbröɣ'', which occurs in the name Cumbria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cummertrees」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
