Have you ever wondered where the River South Esk gets its name? It’s not just a random name that popped into someone’s head. The word Esk comes from the Brythonic word “Isca” which simply means “water.” It’s a reminder that water has always been a vital element of life in this area. This impressive waterway rises at the southernmost point of Midlothian, nestled on the western slopes of Blackhope Scar, the highest of the Moorfoot Hills. It flows north, carving a picturesque route through the landscape, passing by the Gladhouse Reservoir and the Rosebery Reservoir, before reaching Temple, a charming village. Just before it meets the Redside Burn near Arniston House, it continues north, gathering the Gore Water at Shank, and the Dalhousie Burn near Newtongrange. It then meanders past Newbattle Abbey, a historic gem, before finally flowing through Dalkeith. The South Esk is a testament to the power of nature, shaping the landscape over time and leaving its mark on the history and culture of this region.
