摘要：The former royal burgh of Peebles is situated in the
Tweed Valley, at the confluence of the River Tweed
and the Eddleston Water, where two major routes
converged at the lowest crossing point of the
Eddleston Water and the lowest bridging point of the
Tweed before Berwick. The valleys of these two
rivers provided access north to Edinburgh (21 miles),
west to Glasgow (54 miles) and east to Berwick (71
miles). Within the acute angle formed by the confluence
the ground rises abruptly to form a promontory
(164.59 m above sea-level). This ridge, by deflecting
the Eddleston Water from its direct course, has
resulted in the unusual effect of the two rivers
flowing in opposite directions a short distance from
each other (illus 29).
