	River Aln - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Aln runs through the Alnwick district of the County of Northumberland in England, discharging into the North Sea on the east coast of England.
		The river gives its name to the town of Alnwick and to the village of Alnmouth, and its source is in Alnham in the Cheviot hills.
		The Aln is a relatively small river but has been important through history as one of the boundaries along which English and Scottish troops marching to war had to cross; for that reason, it was at times heavily defended.

		Lying on the banks of the River Aln it is one of the most striking and imposing castles in England created by generations of Earls and Dukes.

		Although Northumberland was over-run by Vikings, it is consistently stated that the name "Alnwick" has Anglo-Saxon roots: meaning a farm on the river Aln.
		However it is plain that "aln" mainly derives from the ancient Celtic "Alwin", which refers to a shining white stream (OR "holy/mighty one").
		Alne in North Yorkshire is not far from Topcliffe, where the old baronial fortress of the Percy family was originally.

		In real life, Alnwick Castle is the seat of the Percy family, first barons, then earls and later dukes of Northumberland, perennial Machiavellians on Britain’s political stage, playing Scotland against England and England against Scotland for the greater glory of the Percy family and key roles in various Shakespearean costume dramas.
		Guarding the old stone bridge over the River Aln is the Percy lion, with his unbent tail and unabashed virility.
		And if you’re of a certain age and a certain predilection you’ll think back to another William and another John, who in the 1880s fished this pleasant little river, found the era’s unwieldy trout tackle unpleasant and so decided to build their own.

	Keys To The Past, Ref No
		Although a Roman coin has been found close to the River Aln, to the north of the castle the settlement of Alnwick probably did not develop until the Anglo-Saxon period.
		The name of the town means ‘settlement by the Aln’ and probably developed at this time, though it is not recorded until about 1160.
		It has been suggested that the town grew up at the point where a number of early trackways crossed the river, though no evidence of Anglo-Saxon occupation is known from Alnwick.
