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.
Love the tangles of leaves and waters! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlready 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'.)

DeleteVery true...and the habit travelled, for rivers called Esk are to be found in Australia, and no doubt elsewhere! Yxx
So beautiful. Love the sound of running water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful video YAM! I love the scene and the sound of water is peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
A peaceful, tranquil scene. The backdrop of the sound of the water completes the perfection. I will return later and look at the geology link. Thanks for this pleasant start to my day, YAM.
ReplyDeleteDone! Thank you, YAM.
DeleteEsk is babbling..the sound of water can be very soothing. As long as it isn't a flooding.

Beautiful background for meditation.
ReplyDeletewe call water like this creeks, not rivers. I lived on Clear Creek, in Clear Creek Kentucky from age 10 to 13 and the sound is the same. our house was spitting distance of the creek and we went to sleep each night listening to the sound in your movie. Clear Esk might be a good name. ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe river looks beautiful and innocent though.
ReplyDeleteLovely sound. We used to listen to the same when we lived in southeastern New Hampshire USA, with large streams on the north and west sides of our property. The sound brings back memories of summer evenings.
ReplyDeleteWe love the peaceful sound of the water.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so soothing about the sound of flowing waters.
ReplyDeleteIt is soothing, isn't it?! XX
