Canonbie

Blaeu Atlas of Scotland, 1654, Liddesdale has Kannaby on the left bank of the Esk and the Bowholm on the right bank. Actually when I was much younger I remember old people chastising me for calling the Bowholm Cannaby, Cannaby was always pronounced Cannaby. Only when in school would it be called Canonbie. So going by the 1654 map and the way we locals pronounced Cannaby I don't understand where the name Canonbie came from or why the name crossed the river. Possibly the OS cartographers 'translated' Cannaby to Canonbie, I think they may have had a wee bit trouble with the local dialect.
