Rowanburn

Rowanburn is a hamlet in Eskdale, [Dumfries and Galloway|Eskdale], Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Located near Canonbie, it sits around 5 miles south-east of Langholm and about a mile from the Anglo-Scottish border.
Rowanburn was founded as a coal mining community to house miners from the Canonbie Coalfield in the late 19th century. There is a memorial to the now-closed coal mines in the hamlet. To the south, there is the Riddings Viaduct, a nine-span railway viaduct built in 1864 for the Border Union Railway.
Several farms in the area were devastated by the 2001 [UK foot and mouth crisis|2001 foot and mouth crisis] which spread rapidly via the local livestock market at Longtown.
The only village shop, and garden centre, closed in 2003.
