| WHITEADDER WATER | Whiteadder Water | Map of Berwickshire Revd [Reverend] Mr Davidson Abbey St. Bathans Peter Donaldson Elmford General usage |
A river, or as it is termed water which takes its rise in the Lammermoor Hills, in Haddington shire, at a place Called Whitewell, & flowing in a South Easterly direction, empties itself into the Tweed a little S.W. [South West] of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed -- This river, or water, rises in one of the wildest districts in the South of Scotland, and in its Course passes through varied Scenery - Sometimes through flat Haughs, but generally through places where the Hills Close in. So as to narrow the Valley almost to the Bed of the River --- At Preston Mill & Haugh, the river escapes from the wild rocky, Mountainous Country, entering the beautiful Valley in which the Tweed runs -- The richest fields succeed the barren waste, Woodlands, orchards and highly Cultivated grounds bespeak wealth & comfort --- The river itself partakes of the character of the Country, running in gentle streams, over Pebbly beds, alternating with long Reaches of Still water |
