Rule Water, a troutful stream of Teviotdale, Roxburghshire, formed by several burns that descend from the watershed with Liddesdale, and running 9¼ miles northward, partly within Hobkirk parish, and partly on the boundary between Hobkirk and Cavers on the left and Bedrule on the right, till it falls into the Teviot, 21/8 miles NNE of Denholm. 'Between red czlar banks that frightful scowl, Fringed with grey hazel roars the mining Rowll,' whose deep rocky ravine is overhung to the right by Bonchester Hill, to the left by Ruberslaw. In tradition or song Rule Water is associated with the old roistering clan of the Turnbulls, and with Sir Walter Scott's 'jovial harper, rattling roaring Willie.'-Ord. Sur., sh.
