Some Rothbury Cottages

In the picturesque Coquet Valley, near Simonside Hills in Northumberland, is the town of Rothbury, with the river Coquet running through it and which at one time was surrounded by ancient forest. Rothbury is an ancient barony, although from 1095 it was held by the Crown, it then passed through various hands, before finally becoming the property of the Percy family in the 1330â€™s. It is rumoured that the Jacobite Rebellion started in the Rothbury neighbourhood in 1715 and continued to be a Jacobite centre, with reports of spies continuing for some time after the rebellion had been crushed.
