The River Tweed is one of the most well known rivers in Scotland.

The River Tweed is located in the South-Eastern Borders Region of Scotland. The River Tweed rises on Tweedsmuir, Tweed’s Mill. The Clyde River also rises in close proximity to the North of this location. The Annan River also rises nearby to the south.

For a length of twenty seven kilometers the River Tweed acts as the border between Scotland and England. Along this length, the River Tweed runs along a number of major Scottish towns, these include Peebles, Galashiels, Melrose and Berwick-upon-Tweed. The river then ends in the North Sea.

The River Tweed is known for its salmon fishing. In recent years the River Tweed has been the top river in the European Union in terms of its Atlantic salmon yields. It is also considered one of the top rivers in the world for its salmon yield.
