River Tweed

The River Tweed flows about 156 km from the Southern Uplands of Scotland to the North Sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed. For part of its lower course it marks the border between Scotland and England. The lands between the Tweed and the Forth, once part of Northumbria, passed to the Scottish kings in the 10th and 11th centuries.
