Vigorous Haugh is an area to the west of Kelso on the land between the Rivers Tweed and Teviot. This piece of land appears to have gained its name from its owner, a burgess of Roxburgh named Thomas de Vigurus. In the 1540s, English armies encamped here while refortifying the site of the ruinous Roxburgh Castle.
