Melrose, Scottish Borders
Melrose ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Maolros), "bald moor")〔(Gaelic Placenames collected by Iain Mac an Tailleir (2003) )〕 is a small town and civil parish in the Scottish Borders, historically in Roxburghshire. It is in the Eildon committee area.
==Etymology==
The town's name is recorded in its earliest form as ''Mailros'', 'the bare peninsula' (Old Welsh or Brythonic), referring to the original site of the monastery, recorded by the Venerable Bede, in a bend of the river Tweed. The original monastery at Melrose is referred to in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' with the name ''Magilros''.
In the late Middle Ages, when the monastery had been re-founded in its present position, its name was symbolically represented by the visual pun of a ''mell'' (mason's hammer) and a rose (symbolising the Virgin Mary, to whom all Cistercian abbeys were dedicated).
