Jed Water
This placid looking stream has a bad reputation for flooding. August 1948 was particularly notorious, but any period of heavy rain causes worries for Borders towns. Richmond Row on the left has now got some defences including a hopefully watertight gate.

Flood defences, Richmond Row
The Jed Water is notorious for flooding and a berm and gate has been fitted to try and keep the river out of these otherwise attractive riverside cottages. I used to have a smaller version to keep the Teviot out of my workplace over in Hawick.

Canongate Bridge
The Canongate Bridge is a 16th-century stone arch bridge that crosses Jed Water in the centre of Jedburgh. The viaduct is built of cream-coloured sandstone and it spans the river with three arches, one of which normally runs over land. The passageway is up to three metres wide. The bridge said to be in desperate need of repair in 1677 and 1770 and repairs took place in 1772.
The Canongate Bridge was built as a road bridge and it has refuges where pedestrians can stand safely whilst heavy traffic passed. The bridge was the main access into the town but it has been closed to motorised traffic for some years.
