	Edinburghshire - LoveToKnow 1911
		Cobbinshaw reservoir, situated at the head of Bog Burn, a tributary of the Almond, is used for the supply of the Union Canal connecting the Forth with the Clyde.
		To the north of this area, older sediments, comprising Arenig cherts, fl shales, greywackes and grits of Llandeilo and Caradoc age, rise from underneath the Tarannon strata and spread over the hills north to the margin of the tableland.
		The section in the North Esk is by far the most complete, as the strata embrace Wenlock, Ludlow and Downtonian rocks with a north-east strike similar to that of the beds in the Silurian tableland.

		To the north stand Grasmoor, Grisedale Pike and the hills around the valley of Coledale, and in the far north west is Thornthwaite Forest and Lord's Seat.
		The Skiddaw Slates are found in the north of the park and were probably deposited in shallow seas; their thickness is unknown.

		From Howland northwards to Crookston in the Gala valley the Silurian strata are mainly of Tarannon age and consist of greywackes, grits, flags and shales, with thin dark seams which yield graptolites sparingly.
		On the shores of the Forth along the Almond and the Esk, and on some of the richer flats, grain crops ripen early; 2 M. nearer the hills and 200 ft. higher the harvest is ten days later; and at boo ft. still another week later.
		Temple, on the South Esk, was at one time the chief seat of the Knights Templars in Scotland for whom David I. here built a church, now in ruins.

	River Tyne, England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tyne was a major route for the export of coal from the 13th century until the decline of the coalfields of North East England in the second half of the 20th century.
		To support the shipbuilding and export industries of Tyneside, the lower reaches of the river were extensively remodelled during the second half of the 19th century, with islands removed and meanders in the river straightened.
		The North Tyne was dammed in 1980 to supply water to Teesside from Kielder Reservoir, and a salmon hatchery was opened to compensate for a lack of spawning ground.
