TWEED , a See also:river in the See also:south of See also:Scotland. It rises in the south-See also:west corner of See also:Peeblesshire, not far from the See also:Devil's See also:Beef Tub (in See also:Dumfriesshire) in the See also:- HILL

hill See also:country in which the See also:Clyde and See also:Annan also rise. The stream flowing from Tweed's See also:Wall, about 1500 ft. above the See also:sea, is generally regarded as its source, though its origin has been traced to other streams at a still higher See also:elevation. For the first 36 m. of its course the stream intersects the See also:shire of See also:Peebles in a See also:north-easterly direction, and, shortly before the See also:county See also:town is reached, receives Lyne See also:Water on the See also:left and See also:Manor Water on the right. The valley now widens, and the river, bending towards the south-See also:east, passes See also:Innerleithen, where it receives the Leithen (left) and the Quair (right). It then crosses See also:Selkirkshire and, having received the See also:Ettrick (reinforced by the See also:Yarrow) on the right, flows northward past See also:Abbotsford, forming for about 2 M. the boundary between the counties of See also:Selkirk and Roxburgh. After' receiving the Gala on the left, the Tweed crosses the north-western corner of See also:Roxburghshire past Mel-See also:rose and, after being joined by the See also:Leader on the left, winds past Dryburgh See also:Abbey See also:round the south-western corner of See also:Berwickshire. The See also:remainder of its course is in a north-easterly direction through Roxburghshire past See also:Kelso, where it receives the See also:Teviot on the right, and then between the counties of See also:Berwick and See also:Northumberland, past See also:Coldstream, to the town of Berwick, where it enters the North Sea. On the left it receives See also:Eden Water at Edenmouth and Leet Water at See also:Cold-stream, and the Till from Northumberland between Cold-stream and Norham See also:Castle. The last 2 M. of its course before reaching Berwick are in See also:England. The Tweed is 97 M. See also:long and drains an See also:area of 1870 sq. m. Its See also:bed is pebbly and sandy, and notwithstanding discolorations from manufactures, the stream, owing to its clear and sparkling See also:appearance, still merits the epithet of the " See also:silver Tweed." The river, however, has no See also:estuary, and See also:traffic is chiefly confined to Berwick, though for a See also:short distance above the town some
See also:navigation is carried on by See also:barges. The Tweed is one of the best See also:salmon streams in Scotland. From the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
