In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Greenlaw like this:
Greenlaw.-- small town and par. with ry. sta., Berwickshire, on Blackadder Water, 7½ miles SW. of Duns -- par., 12,149 ac., pop. 1245; town, pop. 744; P.O., T.O., 1 Bank. Greenlaw dates from the close of the 17th century; it succeeded an older town of the same name about 1 mile to the S. From 1696 till 1853 it was the county town, a position now shared by Duns.
