003.03 | An interesting little river of Mid-Lothian and Roxburghshire - It rises among the Moorfoot Hills in the former County, between Ruther Law and Hunt Law, on the northern boundary of the parish of Heriot, and, after flowing 2 miles due East, receives from the North a tributary equal in importance to itself, and suddenly bends round to the Sth. [South] From the point of its exit out of Mid-Lothian onwards, it, with one trivial exception, divides Roxburghshire on its left banK, from SelKirKshire on its right; and from its source, to where it enters the Tweed a little below Abbotsford, it traverses altogether a distance of about 21 miles |
