Carterhaugh
Appearance
Carterhaugh is a wood and farm near the confluence of the Yarrow Water and the Ettrick Water near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.[1] This real location is the fictional setting for the meeting between Tam Lin and Janet (sometimes Margaret) in the ballad "Tam Lin".
Some researchers of the Tam Lin ballad[who?] equate Carterhaugh with Carter Bar in the Cheviot Hills on the border of Scotland and England.
