In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coupland like this:
COPELAND-CASTLE, an old seat in the north of Northumberland; on the river Glen, 4¼ miles NW of Wooler. It succeeded an older seat, which belonged to John de Copeland who took David II. prisoner; and it was built, in 1614, by the Wallaces; and passed to the Ogles.
Coupland is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Coupland itself, go to Statistics.
