Cocklerue or Cuckold-Le-Roi, a hill on the mutual border of Linlithgow and Torphichen parishes, Linlithgowshire, 2 miles SSW of Linlithgow town. It has an altitude of 912 feet above sea-level, and it commands a brilliant view of the basin and screens of the Forth from Ben Lomond to North Berwick. The name is supposed, in Glennie's Arthurian Localities (1869), to refer to Guinevere's betrayal of the Blameless King.
