Gazeteer of Scotland		 013 ; 019 ; 020 This is the principal river in the parish. It has its Source in the junction of two rivulets descending from the hills of Lammermoor, about 4 miles above the town of Lauder. To the extent of 9 or 10 miles it winds its course through the parish, and about 9 miles from Lauder it joins the Tweed at Drygrange. It runs with considerable rapidity in a South easterly direction, affording good Sport to the angler. The localities on the banks of this river have been celebrated in in the old Scottish Song of "Leader haughs and Yarrow". Its more ancient, and probably, its original name was Lauder. Antiquarians trace its etymology to Lauder the lesser Stream or the river that breaks forth
