River Till

River Till

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"
