Will look further into this. Many thanks for the info Coquet, and I will put up a picture of said bottle, nothing on file at the mo` but I`ll take a picture and post it here in a day or two.

I thought Mr Dippie Dixon might have the answer but the closest I can get is a "Well Close" which lies behind the Armstrong Cottages. He says this is from a well that used to exist on the banks of the Cobletch known later as the "Brewery Well". He reckons the 1846 tithe map shows a small runnel of water flowing from the well through Well Close and that the Cobletch Burn had once taken this course entering the Coquet by the Scottish Ford. It might make sense to you Rothbury lads.
