River Tweed, Natural border river between Scotland and England.

The River Tweed spans 97 miles from the Southern Uplands near Moffat to its mouth at Berwick-upon-Tweed on the North Sea coast.

During medieval times, the river served as a major trading route with vessels transporting goods between Scottish and English settlements along its banks.

The river's name influenced the textile industry, giving birth to the term 'tweed' fabric, which originated from the numerous mills operating along its waters.

Anglers from around the world visit the River Tweed throughout the year, as it remains the sole English river not requiring an Environment Agency rod license.

The River Tweed Commission manages the entire waterway as a single entity, despite the river flowing through both Scottish and English territories.
