River Esk (Solway Firth)

The River Esk (Scottish Gaelic: Easg), also known as the Border Esk[citation needed], is a river that rises in the Scottish region of Dumfries and Galloway before crossing the border to the English county of Cumbria and flowing into the Solway Firth.

It arises as the Logan Water and Bigholms Burn meet 3 miles (5 km) southwest of Langholm.

The Tarras Water is a left bank tributary of the Esk which joins it 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Langholm.

The River Lyne enters on the left bank at Lynefoot just above the normal tidal limit of the estuarial section of the Esk.

The River Sark and the Kirtle Water enter the tidal estuary of the Esk to the east and west of Gretna respectively.
