Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Canonbie is a small village in south west Scotland, six miles south of Langholm and two miles north of the England-Scotland border. It is on the A7 road from Carlisle to Edinburgh, and the River Esk flows through it.

Canonbie had a priory dating back to the 12th century. It was destroyed during the reign of Henry the eighth. A grassy mound in a field near the present day church is believed to be the only remenant of the ruins.

Canonbie was immortalised in a poem by Sir Walter Scott entitled Marmion. A famous section covers the exploits of young Lochinvar. Having stolen the hand of the bride of Netherby Hall, about three miles south of Canonbie, the dashing kight is chased through Canonbie, but makes good his escape.

Canonbie was deeply affected by the 2001 foot and mouth crisis, with all the surrounding farms losing their herds. It is only five miles north of Longtown, where the disease was first spotted at the livestock market.
