Abstract
This resource has been created by the research project Recovering the Earliest English Language in Scotland: Evidence from place-names, funded by The Leverhulme Trust at the University of Glasgow from 2016 to 2019. Over the course of four years, the project team surveyed the place-names of the historical county of Berwickshire (now part of the Scottish Borders Council Area), collecting and analysing early spellings from medieval and later documents and maps, undertaking fieldwork, and talking to local people, in order to uncover the languages and meanings of the names.
