==Course== [[File:Tweed.tributaries.jpg|thumb|The catchment area of the Tweed]] The River Tweed flows primarily through the scenic [[Scottish Borders|Borders]] region of Scotland. Eastwards from the settlements on opposing banks of [[Birgham]] and [[Carham]] it forms the historic boundary between Scotland and England. It rises in the Lowther Hills at [[Tweed's Well]] near to where the [[River Clyde|Clyde]], draining northwest ({{convert|10|km}} from the Tweed's Well), and the [[River Annan|Annan]] draining south ({{convert|1.9|km}} from the Tweed's Well) also rise. "Annan, Tweed and Clyde rise oot the ae hillside" is a saying from the Border region.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/the-tweed-take-a-trip-on-a-river-flowing-with-history-5332911.html The Tweed: Take a trip on a river flowing with history] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190731155031/https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/the-tweed-take-a-trip-on-a-river-flowing-with-history-5332911.html |date=2019-07-31 }}, The Independent, 21 April 2007</ref> East of [[Kelso, Scottish Borders|Kelso]], it becomes a section of the eastern part of the border.
