The Ale Water rises at a height of 363 meters on the eastern slope of the Deep Slack , which is referred to in older sources as Henwoodie Hill , in the Ettrick Forest . Initially, it runs in a northeasterly direction for around 30 kilometers. The Ale Water runs through a hilly, sparsely populated region of the Scottish Borders. It affects the villages of Ashkirk and Lilliesleaf . Finally, the ale water gradually turns to the southeast and then, after a run of 38 kilometers, flows into the Teviot at Ancrum , which drains into the North Sea via the Tweed .

The Ale Water to the Alemoor Loch is dammed along the upper course . Numerous streams flow into the Ale Water, especially from the left.
