In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Caerlanrig like this:
Caerlanrig, a hamlet and a quondam chapelry in Cavers parish, Roxburghshire. The hamlet lies on the river Teviot, 6 miles NE of that river's source, and 10 miles SW of Hawick; and was the place where the famous Border freebooter, John Armstrong of Gilknockie, and a number of his companions, were hanged on trees by James V. The chapelry comprised a tract 16 miles long and 6 miles broad, contiguous to Dumfriesshire, and down the course of the Teviot; and is now included in the quoad omnia parish of Teviothead.
