Tarras Water

Tarras Water is a river in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

Etymology

The name Tarras is of Brittonic origin.[1] It is derived from the elements *tā-, with a root sense of "melting, thawing, dissolving" (Latin tābeō, "melt")[1] and -ar, an adjectival suffix frequently occurring in river-names (Welsh -ar),[1] with the Scots plural -s.[1]

The Tarras Water rises to the west of Roan Fell,[2] near the boundary with the Scottish Borders. It flows over 11 miles (17 km) south to join the River Esk 2 miles (3 km) south of Langholm opposite Auchenrivock.[2]

Poetry

Tarras Water was a nature poem by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson.[3]
