Carterhaugh Template:IPAc-en is a wood and farm near the confluence of the Yarrow Water and the Ettrick Water near Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.[1] This real location shares its name with the fictional setting for the meeting between Tam Lin and Janet (sometimes Margaret) in the ballad "Tam Lin".[2] This is commemorated in the name of Tamlane's Well, on the roadside outside Carterhaugh Farm.[3] The link between the location and the ballad is debated.[4]

It is close to the site of the Battle of Philiphaugh (1645) on Ettrick Water and to the birthplace of Mungo Park on Yarrow Water. Carterhaugh Bridge is a listed building, reference number 13866,[5] listed as Caterhaugh.
