Cummertrees is a coastal village and civil parish of Annandale in the historical county of Dumfriesshire in Dumfries and Galloway. It lies about inland, on the Pow Water to the northwest of Powfoot, from Dumfries and from Annan.
==Etymology== Cummertrees, recorded as Cumbertres in 1204 and 1207, is probably of Cumbric origin. The second element represents *tres 'strife, tumult, violence', cognate with Welsh tres and Gaelic treas. The first element is *cümber, cömber 'confluence. Andrew Breeze proposes the meaning 'confluence of turbulent water'. Alan James suggests that *tres may have been a stream-name.
