Smailholm
Smailholm ()〔(The Online Scots Dictionary )〕 is a small village in the old county of Roxburghshire in south-east Scotland. It is at
and straddles the B6397 Gordon to Kelso road. The village is almost equidistant from both, standing 6 miles NW of the abbey town of Kelso. Since local government reorganisation in Scotland in the early 1970s, Smailholm has been part of the Scottish Borders Council.
== History ==
Smailholm, in keeping with most of the south eastern part of Scotland, was part of the ancient kingdom of Northumbria and was named from the Old English language as Smael Ham meaning narrow village.〔http://www.smailholm.bordernet.co.uk/history/〕 In early mediaeval times, the village was larger than it is now and was divided into three separate parts, East Third, West Third and Overtown. Sir Walter Scott, as a boy, was a regular visitor to his grandfather's farm at Sandyknowe. Captain Cook's mother Jean was born in Smailholm and married his father in Smailholm Church. Before the end of the 18th century, there were two schools in the village, a parochial school and a private establishment at Sandyknowe. St. Cuthbert is believed to have been born at Wrangham, a long disappeared village at New Smailholm. King Edward I of England passed through Smailholm in 1303 on his march to Lauder.
