Biggar Water is a river in Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire, in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
Confluence of the Biggar Water and Tweed
It forms part of the River Tweed system. It rises, as Biggar Burn, in the north-east of the parish of Biggar, South Lanarkshire and flows about 6¾ miles generally south-westerly toward the town of Biggar, where it becomes Biggar Water. It then flows about 5 miles eastwards before confluencing with the Tweed ¾ mile north-east of Drumelzier in Peeblesshire. [1]
