Rule Water
From Wikishire
The Rule Water is a river wholly in Roxburghshire, and a tributary of the River Teviot.
The Rule Water rises in Wauchope Forest and passes Hobkirk, Bonchester Bridge, Hallrule, Abbotrule, and Bedrule until it joins the River Teviot at Spittal-on-Rule.
It gives a name to Abbotrule, Bedrule, Spittal-on-Rule, and other places along its course, and indirectly to Ruletownhead on a like-named burn a mile or so to the east.
Miscellany
A history of the Rule Water entitled "Rulewater and its People; An account of the Valley of the Rule and its Inhabitants" was published by George Tancred in 1907.[1]
