The Calder Water near East Browncastle

The Calder Water is a small river which rises in Ayrshire as the Calder Burn within a southern part of the Whitelee Forest known as Calder Moss. The burn flowing northeast soon enters Lanarkshire, becoming the Calder Water.

The river turns southeastwards on a meandering course. No villages are found on the course of the Calder Water until Caldermill, a Lanarkshire hamlet on the A71 southwest of Strathaven. Here the river passes beneath the A71 and soon enters the Avon Water, a tributary of the River Clyde.
