River Tweed River Tweed The River Tweed, or Tweed Water (, ), is a river long that flows east across the Border region in Scotland and northern England. Tweed (cloth) derives its name from its association with the River Tweed. The Tweed is one of the great salmon rivers of Britain and the only river in England where an Environment Agency rod licence is not required for angling. "Tweed" is a British name of uncertain meaning. It flows primarily through the scenic Borders region of Scotland, and eastwards from the settlements on opposing banks of Birgham and Carham forms the historic boundary
Sport in Scotland closely related to standard football. Five-a-side (not to be confused with fives) is popular in Scotland, with many casual leagues. For hurling and camogie, please see under Gaelic Athletic Association. Cricket has a much lower profile in Scotland than it has south of the border in England. Scotland is not one of the twelve leading cricketing nations which play Test matches, but the Scottish national team is now allowed to play full One Day Internationals, and takes part in the Cricket World Cup, in which Scotland reached the final tournament in 2007. Scotland has a well established recreational cricket structure.
