Ednam

About Ednam

Ednam is a small village near Kelso in the Scottish Borders. The village is thought to have probably originated in Anglo-Saxon times, as the name is Old English meaning ‘the farm by the Eden [Water]’. It is also one of the earliest villages on record in the Borders when Thor the Long was granted land there by King Edgar in 1100. Today there is no evidence of the medieval village, though, it is likely that it was close to the parish church.
