The Borthwick Water is a river in the Scottish Borders Scottish Council Area .
course
The river is created by the confluence of Craikhope Burn , Howpasley Burn and Brownshope Burn on the eastern edge of Craik Forest . Historically, it flowed through the counties of Selkirkshire and Roxburghshire , both of which have merged into the Scottish Borders. For the top 20 kilometers, the meandering Borthwick Water follows a northeasterly direction. Then it describes a wide arc to the southwest, and after a total length of 26 kilometers it flows into the Teviot from the left about three kilometers southwest of Hawick , which drains into the North Sea via the Tweed .
Surroundings
The Borthwick Water flows through a sparsely populated region of the Scottish Borders. Only the hamlets of Craik , Deanburnhaugh and Roberton with the Harden manor are on its course . Historically, a Roman road followed the course of the Borthwick Waters. Today the B711 follows him on the left for the last six kilometers.
