Dewars Lane, Berwick-upon-Tweed, runs down Back Street just off Bridge Street. Like other Berwick locations it was painted by the English artist L. S. Lowry (1887 - 1976), who visited Berwick often, especially in the 1930s, when he stayed at the Castle Hotel. Many of his other drawings and paintings depict Pendlebury, Lancashire, where he lived and worked for more than 40 years.

Among other watercourses, Coppull is bounded by the River Yarrow, which feeds the Yarrow Reservoir, which in turn feeds the Anglezarke and Upper and Lower Rivington Reservoirs. From here, the river flows underneath the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, joining Black Brook at Yarrow Bridge, then continuing through the ancient woodland of Duxbury into Yarrow Valley Park forming a boundary of Euxton and on through Eccleston and Croston, where it feeds the River Douglas at Sollom, which is a hamlet in the parish of Tarleton, Lancashire.

John Keats lived in EDMONTON when it was a small village rather than part of a London borough. This is marked by Keats house in The Latymer School.

The Old Course at St Andrews has hosted the Open Championship the most times, on 29 occasions between 1873 and 2015. The next most popular course is Prestwick Golf Club, Prestwick, Ayrshire which hosted on 24 occasions between 1860 and 1925; it is no longer on the Championship's list of venues.

I agree but do not see how it changes the connection of an Aberdeenshire settlement with the City of Aberdeen the administrative centre of Aberdeenshire?

Okay, moving on, then .... apart from Aberdeen FC, the other senior team in the city is Cove Rangers FC of the Highland Football League (HFL).

One of the teams that they play are the splendidly named Forres Mechanics Football Club, who from the town of
Forres, Moray. Their unusual name is variously stated to come from the town's Mechanics Institute or most likely when a group of craftsmen or mechanics split from an earlier Forres team to form their own club.

The UK has several River Levens one of which is the outlet for Lake Windermere and this short River Leven passes Newby Bridge on its way to the sea.
