Newcastleton
Newcastleton, is a village in the Scottish Borders, a few miles from the border with England, on the Liddel Water. It is the website of Hermitage Castle. Newcastleton is 10 mi (16 kilometres) east of Langholm, 17 mi (27 km) south of Hawick, 24 mi (39 km) north of Carlisle and 74 mi (119 km) south of Edinburgh. Newcastleton was developed as a result of the land clearances in the 1790s when individuals were forced to relocate from Old Castleton town. There has been a people festival at Newcastleton since 1970. "Copshaw Holm" (an additional name for the town) is commemorated in the tune "Copshawholm Fair", composed by David Anderson in 1830, as sung by Willie Scott to name a few.
