 Lilliesleaf lies further along the B6400 and Denholm can be reached along the unclassified road which runs parallel to the River Teviot.The name of this place, anciently Alne-crumb, is derived from the situation of its village on a bend of the River Alne, now the Ale.There were formerly two villages distinguished by the appellations of Over Ancrum and Nether Ancrum, of the former of which nothing now remains.
