Canonbie
Canonbie (population 390) is a tiny town in Dumfriesshire within the regional authority location of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland, six miles southern of Langholm as well as 2 miles north of the Anglo-Scottish border. It is on the A7 road from Carlisle to Edinburgh, and also the River Esk streams with it. There are frequent references in older records to it as Canobie. Canonbie was eternalized in a poem by Sir Walter Scott entitled Marmion. A renowned section covers the ventures of young Lochinvar. Having swiped the hand of the new bride of Netherby Hall, about three miles southern of Canonbie, the rushing knight is chased with Canonbie, yet makes good his escape.
