Carwinley is a hamlet in the very north of Cumberland, on a minor stream, the Back Burn, just a few hundred yards above the River Esk. Less than a mile upstream from the point that the burn meets the Esk, the river becomes the boundary of Cumberland with Dumfriesshire.
The first record of the village is in 1202 as Karwindelhov.[1]
