Hermitage Water

Hermitage Water, upstream from the bridge to Hermitage Castle

The Hermitage Water is a river in Liddesdale in Roxburghshire. Among its many feeder burns are Braidley Burn, Dinley Burn, Gorrenberry Burn and Twislehope Burn. The Water flows entirely in the parish of Castleton: through the hamlets of Gorrenberry and Dinley, and through the village of Hermitage, and past Hermitage Castle. It continues past Toftholm where it meets the B6399, and passes Newlands, Longhaugh, Leahaugh and Redheugh. At Sandholm it joins the Liddel Water and the dismantled railway.
