I have taken hundreds of images of Caerlaverock over the years, all public domain. Renata (talk) 11:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is Caeverlock an alternative spelling or a mis-spelling?

Here [1] and elsewhere but not too many places the castle is referred to as "Caeverlock". Did The Herald newspaper get it wrong or is "Caeverlock" an alternative spelling? If the latter, this should be mentioned in this article.Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 17:24, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ha that looks like a typo to me. I've never seen "Caeverlock", and its not even a very plausible contraction from "Caerlaverock". Canmore is usually good at listeing alternative/archaic names, but notes only "Carlaverock" in this case. Thanks for spotting though. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:12, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Has this mis-spelling reached such a popularity that it is an alternative name? Historic Scotland uses the "Caeverlock" spelling here [2] in their URL and in the text on the page: "CAEVERLOCK CASTLE TEAROOM MENU. The tearoom is situated within the visitor centre in the grounds of Caerlaverock Castle. " Others use it too, in TripAdvisor, by film location managers and art historians, in several places. See Google [3]. Alternatively, could "Caeverlock" refer to a specific part of the grounds, to something nearby, or to a family name? --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 04:58, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
