Everything about Whiteadder Water totally explained
Whiteadder Water is a
river in
East Lothian and
Berwickshire,
Scotland. In common with the
headwaters of the
Biel Water it rises on the low hillside of
Clints Dod (122 m, 399 ft) in the
Lammermuir Hills, just ESE of
Whitecastle Hillfort and 3 km (2
miles) south-east of the village of
Garvald.
The stream wends its way south east for approximately 5 km (3 miles) where it joins with the
Faseny Water to form the
Whiteadder Reservoir formed in 1968, which supplies most of the towns of East Lothian (including
Cockenzie power station) and Berwickshire, with water.
From there, crossing into
Berwickshire it runs alongside the B6355 road to
Ellemford where it joins the
Dye Water and further on at
Abbey St. Bathans, the
Monynut Water and
Eye Water.
By this point having become a much larger body of flow, the Whiteadder meanders across Eastern parts of
The Merse passing the communities of
Preston,
Chirnside,
Allanton. Here at Allanton the Whiteadder joins with its antonymic counterpart the
Blackadder Water. The river proceeds by
Foulden,
Edrington, and
Paxton, where it crosses into
England, before joining the
River Tweed, just north of
East Ord, a suburb of
Berwick-upon-Tweed.
In common with the much better known Tweed, the Whiteadder can provide some first rate
salmon and
trout fishing.
