Carterhaugh is a genuine location, a tract of woods on the pennisula of land by the meeting of the Ettrick and Yarrow rivers in Selkirk, in Selkirkshire.

 Ettrickbridge Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
Only with the coming of a bridge over the Ettrick Water at the east end of the village in the late 1700s did it become known as Ettrick-Brig-End, and later as Ettrickbridge.
Ettrickbridge grew, as Kirkhope, partly as a result of mills built to exploit the power of the Ettrick Water in the 1700s (and now long gone), and partly to service traffic on the main route of the day from Selkirk to Moffat which forded the river here until the bridge was built.
The role of servicing passing traffic has passed to the nice-looking Cross Keys, towards the western end of the village.
