Liddel Water

Liddel Water

Liddel Water is a river running through southern Scotland and northern England, for much of its course forming the border between the two countries, and was formerly one of the boundaries of the Debatable Lands

Liddel Water's source is beneath Peel Fell in Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders, 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.

The river continues to pick up tributaries (see below) as it follows its southwesterly course, which takes it through Newcastleton (also known as "Copshaw Holm") to Kershopefoot, where the burn begins to mark the Anglo-Scottish border.

Liddel Water flows into the River Esk at Willow Pool, beneath Liddel Strength near Carwinley, Cumbria.
