The
River Till in
Northumberland is the only
English tributary of the
River Tweed. Its upper stretches are called the
River Breamish which rises on
Comb Fell. Its tributaries include
Wooler Water, which originates in the
Cheviot Hills, and the
River Glen in
Glendale. Recent environmental projects have included an attempt to conserve the native
brown trout.
It meets the Tweed near Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Twizel Viaduct. According to local folklore:
- Tweed said to Till
- "What gars ye rin sae stil?"
- Says Till to Tweed,
- "Though ye rin wi' speed
- And I rin slaw
- Whar ye droon yin man
- I droon twa"
