Dance Information
Ettrick Water, known also as the River Ettrick, often locally known as Wild Ettick, though that title refers more correctly to the Ettrick Forrest and the Ettrick Valley, flows through the village of Ettrick, its flood plain, the Ettrick Marshes, the village of Ettrickbridge and the historic town of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.It is a tributary of the River Tweed and is the second fastest rising river in Scotland.
