In a small patch of trees in the border land of Selkirk, you will find a very unassuming small stone well, written above it is the words tamlanes well. It is now a largely forgotten small piece of land, its legends and mysteries becoming ever more lost in the consciousness of the Scottish people. The stories of chalk circles and fairy rings, the enchanting power of those from the other world, it has all been forgotten. But at one time this small patch of trees was the great border forest of carterhaugh, a gateway to the other side and the well, a sacred spring where reverence was paid to the Daoine sith or faerie folk. A place where these words were once widely known.
"O I forbid ye, maidens a',
That wear gold on your hair,
To come or gae by Carterhaugh,
For young Tam Lin is there."
