Cleugh
- also sometimes spelled cleuch, this word can refer to either a cliff or a ravine with steep rocky sides. It is found in many place-names, often in conjunction with the name of a bird known to frequent such an area. In Berwickshire, for example, Earnscleuch contains the Scots term earn 'eagle', and Corbie Cleuch in Dumfriesshire contains Scots corbie 'crow'. With modified pronunciation, cleuch is also found in the place-name Buccleuch in Selkirk, famous for its Dukes and Border chieftains.
