At this point the Trows Burn (right) merges with the Rowhope Burn (ahead) which then continues to join the River Coquet at Slymefoot, 1.3 kilometres downstream. As well as the burn being edged with Mimulus, it also contained a large quantity of Water Crowfoot, the small white flowers seen here floating on the surface of the burn. Water crowfoots are aquatic plants related to buttercups that are native to the UK and are recognisable by their small, seasonal white flowers. Water crowfoots thrive best in unpolluted, moving water courses, such as streams and rivers and their presence has long been used as a natural indicator of clean water. There are several closely related species which are sometimes hard to tell apart. For a selection of detailed free to download walking routes in the area visit www.cheviotwalks.co.uk
