Canonbie
Canonbie (population 390) is a small village in Dumfriesshire within the regional authority location of Dumfries and also Galloway in Scotland, six miles southern of Langholm as well as 2 miles north of the Anglo-Scottish boundary. It is on the A7 road from Carlisle to Edinburgh, and the River Esk moves via it. There are regular recommendations in older papers to it as Canobie. Canonbie was immortalised in a rhyme by Sir Walter Scott entitled Marmion. A well-known section covers the ventures of young Lochinvar. Having actually stolen the hand of the bride-to-be of Netherby Hall, regarding 3 miles south of Canonbie, the rushing knight is gone after through Canonbie, but makes great his escape.
