  Greenlaw Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
The village of Greenlaw is found some seven miles north of Kelso, and similar distances south west of Duns and north west of Coldstream.
Greenlaw's story dates back at least as far as 700AD when a church was established a mile south of the current village in what is now called Old Greenlaw.
The key point in Greenlaw's history was 1482, when the English capture of Berwick-upon-Tweed left the Scottish county of Berwickshire without a county town.

 Amazon.com: The Lobster Chronicles: Life On a Very Small Island: Books: Linda Greenlaw   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Greenlaw (The Hungry Ocean), known to readers of The Perfect Storm as the captain of the sister ship to the ill-fated Andrea Gail, gave up swordfishing to return to her parents' home on Isle Au Haut off the coast of Maine and fish for lobster.
One of Greenlaw's themes is her desire to find a husband but, according to her friend Alden, she intimidates men: she's tough talking, feisty and very self-assured, which is no doubt why the other lobstermen on the island readily accept her as one of them.
Greenlaw's first book, The Hungry Ocean, was a best seller because it was written by a female sword boat captain; her vessel was a sister ship to the Andrea Gail (the subject of Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm); and it was a darn good story.

  Barnes & Noble.com - Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain's Journey - Linda Greenlaw - Paperback
Greenlaw may be the only female swordfishing captain in the world, but she never considered her gender to be particularly relevant when commanding a crew or steering a ship.
Greenlaw describes her boat, equipment, and various electronic gear, including the "temperature bird" that is lowered to measure the temperature at the fishing depth, as well as her technique for finding just the right area to fish.
Greenlaw also tells of life aboard for her crew, including personality conflicts that invariably subside when the tired and busy crew is occupied with the grueling haul-back of the catch.

 Powells.com Interviews - Linda Greenlaw
Another bestseller followed "about family and community and going home after seventeen years away." In The Lobster Chronicles, Greenlaw described her transition to a quieter life on Isle au Haut, a tiny island seven miles off the coast of Maine where almost half of the forty-seven year-round residents are her relations.
Greenlaw: Fishermen don't dwell on the fact that they're engaging in the most dangerous profession in the country or maybe even in the world.
Greenlaw: Writing is very difficult for me, just the process itself of having to sit with a notebook and a pen, particularly in the high season for fishing.

 Book Review - The Lobster Chronicles by Linda Greenlaw
Greenlaw takes a lot of the romance that might be associated with lobstering and turns it into the backbreaking labor it really is. Her father is her sternman, the only help she has preparing the gear and working on the boat.
Greenlaw comments about the dearth of single men, "There are three single men in residence; two of them are gay and the third is my cousin." The steady depopulation of the island leads single men and women to leave the island to look for potential mates.
A lot of this book is Greenlaw's self-reflection on just the type of woman she is, tough as nails, captain of her boat, an overachiever, yet longing for the emotional comforts of love and home.

 67 Wn. App. 755, 840 P.2d 223, MARRIAGE OF GREENLAW
Greenlaw appeared specially and challenged Washington's assumption of jurisdiction pursuant to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, contending that: (1) California was the child's home state; (2) no emergency, as contemplated by RCW 26.27.030, existed which would give Washington jurisdiction; and (3) California was a more convenient forum.
Greenlaw asserts that there was an insufficient showing of an emergency to justify the trial court's assertion of subject matter jurisdiction.
