River Esk

The River Esk , Scottish Gaelic: Easg ), also called the Lothian Esk, is a river that flows through Midlothian and East Lothian, Scotland.

The North Esk rises in the North Esk Reservoir in the Pentland Hills, in Midlothian, a mile north of the village of Carlops. It flows north-east past Penicuik and Auchendinny, where it is joined by the Glencorse Burn, flowing in a south-easterly direction from the Glencorse Reservoir. The reservoir was built by the Edinburgh Water Company in the 1820s, to supply compensation water to millowners on the Esk when they started to take water from the Glencorse Burn for drinking water supplies. The river continues through Roslin Glen and the Penicuik–Dalkeith Walkway, past Hawthornden Castle, Polton, Lasswade and Melville Castle.
