Borthwick Water

A tributary of the River Teviot in the Scottish Borders, the Borthwick Water rises as headstreams in Craik Forest near the border with Dumfries and Galloway. It flows 16 miles (26 km) northeastwards to join the Teviot 2 miles (3 km) above Hawick. A Roman road followed the course of the Borthwick Water from Craik Cross, its ultimate destination being Tweedmouth.
