Pronounced Co'ket. The river, about 40 miles (64 km) in length, rises in the Cheviot Hills and follows a course generally easterly, but greatly winding. It passes Harbottle, near which relics of the Stone Age are seen, and Holystone, where it is recorded that Bishop Paulinus baptized a great body of Northumbrians in the year 627. Several earthworks crown hills above this part of the valley and at Cartington, Tosson and Whitton are relics of medieval border fortifications.

Thanks for both a 'painting' and an interesting narrative, Richie.

Regards, Cornelius.

It does resemble a painting Count B. The gradual curve in the river with St. Lawrence on the bank gives it good balance.
