Thread Name: Origins: The Dewy Dens of Yarrow
Subject: RE: The Dewy Dens of Yarrow
Yarrow is situated on road A708 about 6 miles W of Selkirk, Scotland. The road follows the line of the river, the Yarrow Water. The dells are indeed both Dewie and Dowie. Yarrow Feus and Yarrowford lie on the same road and river. It is in a very wonderful part of Scotland hard by the Ettrick Forest,of Ettrick Shepherd fame, Why not visit now
and also for those that are up for it, visit nearby Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, the 19th C poet and author. Yarrow itself is a tiny little place.
