TILL. WHITADDER. 337 



deep, sluggish water, singularly fantastic in its wind- 

 ings. The fish it contains are pike, perch, trout, and 

 eels ; but the migratory sorts, especially whitlings, enter 

 it freely, and much earlier than they do any other 

 branch from the main stream. Not many salmon, how- 

 ever, are caught by the rod above Etal, their progress 

 being much obstructed by a waterfall in that locality. 

 The sea-trout, on the occurrence of a flood, force their 

 way up into the Glen, a stream entering Till two or 

 three miles below Wooler, and formed by the junction 

 of the Bowmont and Colledge waters, the one passing 

 Yetholm from Roxburghshire, and the other from the 

 foot of Cheviot. The Glen is in high repute as an 

 angling stream, and contains abundance of small, lively 

 trout. There are good inns at and adjoining Wooler, 

 and a small one at Bender. Connected with this dis- 

 trict is the Glendale fishing-club, a numerous body of 

 Northumbrians, comprising several able and intelligent 

 anglers. 



On the Tweed, at Till-mouth, there is an excellent 

 cast for salmon ; but here, as at Coldstream, the fish 

 are very capricious, and show little inclination to favour 

 the angler. The salmon-fishings betwixt Carham and 

 Berwick belong to various proprietors, among which are 

 Earl Grey, Collingwood, Esq., Sir F. Blake, Wil- 

 son, Esq., of Whitmore, &c., on the English side of the 

 river; and on the Scottish, Sir. W. Marjoribanks, of 

 Lees; Earl of Haddington, D. Robertson, Esq., of 

 Ladykirk; J. Home, Esq., of Wedderburn; Mac- 

 braire, Esq., of Broadmeadows, &c. &c. 



About five miles above Berwick, the Tweed is joined 

 by the Whitadder. 



The WHITADDER takes its rise at Johnscleugh, in 

 the county of Haddington, at an elevation of eleven
