Greenlaw is a small town in Berwickshire, south-east Scotland. After the final cession of Berwick-upon-Tweed to England in 1482, Greenlaw became the county town of Berwickshire. It finally lost this status to Duns in 1904, its legal and jurisdictional dignities having slipped across to its larger rival by stages across the intervening centuries. The name is a reflection of its status in the late 14th century: a new, or fresh, 'green', centre of jurisdiction, 'law'.
