Source of the Clyde

A wee trip out today to find the source of the mighty and historic River Clyde.

The Clyde is formed by the confluence of two streams, the Daer Water (the headwaters of which are dammed to form the Daer Reservoir) and the Potrail Water. The Southern Upland Way crosses both streams before they meet at Watermeetings to form the River Clyde proper. At this point (this photograph) the Clyde is only 6 miles from Tweed's Well, the source of the River Tweed, and 8 miles from the Devil's Beef Tub, the source of the River Annan
