| Whiteadder Water | Whiteadder Water | Map of Berwickshire | A river, or as it is termed water | |||
| Revd. Thomas Davison | which takes its rise in the Lammermoor | |||||
| Abbey St Bathans | Hills in Haddington Shire at a place | |||||
| Peter Donaldson | called Whitewells, & flowing in a | |||||
| Ellenford | S. Easterly direction empties | |||||
| itself into the Tweed a little | ||||||
| S.W. of the town of Berwick | ||||||
| upon Tweed. This river or | ||||||
| water takes its rise in one of the wildest districts in the South of Scotland & in its | ||||||
| course passes through varied scenery – sometimes through flat Haughs | ||||||
| but (in the Lammermoors) through places where the Hills close in, so as to | ||||||
| narrow the valley almost to the bed of the river. | ||||||
| At Preston Mill & Haugh, the river escapes from the wild, rocky | ||||||
| mountainous country, entering the beautiful valley in which the Tweed | ||||||
| runs – the richest fields succeed the barren waste – woodlands, orchards | ||||||
| & highly cultivated grounds respect wealth & comfort. | ||||||
| The river itself partakes of the character of the country | ||||||
| running in gentle streams over Pebbly beds, alternating with long | ||||||
| reaches of Still water. | ||||||
| R. Burnaby | ||||||
| Cap. RE | ||||||
