The Jed Water is a river and a tributary of the River Teviot in the Borders region of Scotland. In total Jed Water is over long, it flows into the Teviot near Jedfoot Bridge () from a source in the Cheviot Hills. The river in past times was the main source of water for the monks living in Jedburgh Abbey. It also powered a watermill in the town of Jedburgh although this no longer exists. It gives its name to Jedburgh and Jed Forest. The name Jed is of obscure origin. James has suggested that it may derive from Proto-Indo-European '' *wei(h1)- d-'' 'a bend, something curved or twisted'. He also notes that Scots ''Gedde-'' in Jedburgh may have been adopted from Cumbric '' gwï:δ'' 'a wood', and that the river name may be a back-formation. ==See also== *Borders Abbeys Way *List of places in the Scottish Borders *List of places in Scotland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jed Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
