What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Today, a semi-urban river, the Esk is actually made up of two tributaries that meet just north of Dalkeith to become the larger Esk, which flows into the Firth of Forth. (There's fascinating geology - do read this!) This footage is taken by the river that flows through the town of Penicuik and is, therefore, properly referred to as the North Esk. Due to the steep sides, water can rise quite high here - as can be witnessed by the fallen greenery and debris.

  2. Already aware of two rivers called 'Esk' in Scotland and one in Yorkshire, an internet search turned up a couple more in Cumbria. Not so surprising perhaps as I also learned that 'esk' is derived from a Celtic language word for water! (There are of course multiple UK rivers called 'Avon' and 'Dee'.)
    Cheers, Gail.

      Very true...and the habit travelled, for rivers called Esk are to be found in Australia, and no doubt elsewhere! Yxx
