Help[Facts] Re: The name "Tweed"
in reply to a message by Tweed
Suggestions that Tweed means border or was named for being between England and Scotland are anachronistic. Neither England nor Scotland existed when the Tweed was probably named so, and the kingdoms which existed in the Anglo-British era (Bernicia and Northumberland) extended far north of the Tweed, beyond Edinburgh.
