Run

Jed Water is created by the confluence of several streams in the Wauchope Forest in the Cheviot Hills . The source streams reach up to the slopes of the Carlin Tooth a few hundred meters from the Scottish-English border. The upper reaches of the Jed Waters is called Raven Burn . There are different information about the confluence from which the stream is called Jed Water .

The approximately 35 kilometers long course of the Jed Waters essentially follows a northerly direction. The Jed Water receives numerous streams along its course. However, it has no significant tributaries. At Bonjedward , around three kilometers north of Jedburgh , the Jed Water flows into the Teviot , which eventually drains into the North Sea via the Tweed .
