Carterhope


Twee-dail with the Sherifdome of Etterik-Forest called also SelkirkJoan Blaeu, 1654image courtesy of NLS

Carterhope is marked as a tower named Kartrop on Blaeu’s mid-17th century map of Tweeddale, based on Pont’s late 16th century work.

I have placed the location of the tower at Carterhope farmstead, now submerged under the Fruid Reservoir, pending further research.
