Liddel Water

Liddel Water is a river of the Middle Shires; it runs initially through Roxburghshire, where it forms a dale named Liddesdale, a district infamous in history and later marks the county boundary of Cumberland with Roxburghshire and with Dumfriesshire, until the Liddle enters the River Esk.

Liddel Water's source is beneath Peel Fell in Roxburghshire, where it is formed by the confluence of Caddroun Burn, Wormscleuch Burn and Peel Burn. Soon afterwards, the nascent Liddel Water is fed by Dawston Burn near the village of Saughtree. (Read more)
