The River Teviot (/ˈtiːvi.ət/ or /ˈtiːvijɪʔ/), or Teviot Water, is a river of the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, and a tributary of the River Tweed.
It rises in the western foothills of Comb Hill on the border of Dumfries and Galloway. It flows north-eastwards through Teviotdale and past Teviothead, the Colterscleuch Monument, Broadhaugh, Branxholme and Branxholme Castle.
The Teviot passes through Hawick and Lanton, the Timpendean Tower and the town of Ancrum, Harestanes and Monteviot, Nisbet and Roxburgh, before joining the River Tweed to the southwest of Kelso.
The Borders Abbeys Way keeps close company with the Teviot on its journey to the Tweed.

Famous quotes containing the word river:
“My favorite figure of the American author is that of a man who breeds a favorite dog, which he throws into the Mississippi River for the pleasure of making a splash. The river does not splash, but it drowns the dog.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
