About

The River Tweed is a majestic waterway that has been an integral part of Scotland's history and culture for centuries. It flows through the beautiful Scottish Borders region, stretching for over 97 miles from its source in the Southern Uplands near Moffat, to its mouth at Berwick-upon-Tweed where it finally meets the North Sea. As one of the world's most iconic rivers, it has played a vital role in shaping Scotland's past and present. It was once a major trading route in medieval times, with ships carrying goods and people up and down the river. Its strategic location also made it a site of numerous battles during times of war between England and Scotland.
