: The River Esk (Brythonic: Isca (water), (スコットランド・ゲール語:Easg (water))) is a river which flows through Midlothian and East Lothian, Scotland. It initially runs as two separate rivers, the North Esk and the South Esk. The North Esk rises in the North Esk Reservoir in the Pentland Hills, in Midlothian, a mile (1½ km) north of the village of Carlops. It flows north-east past Penicuik, Auchendinny, through Roslin Glen and the Penicuik–Dalkeith Walkway, past Hawthornden Castle, Polton, Lasswade and Melville Castle. The South Esk rises at the southernmost extremity of Midlothian, on the western slopes of Blackhope Scar (the highest of the Moorfoot Hills). It flows north through Gladhouse Reservoir and Rosebery Reservoir, and through the village of Temple, Midlothian, before receiving the Redside Burn close to Arniston House. It is joined by the Gore Water and then the Dalhousie Burn, just to the west of Newtongrange, before passing Newbattle Abbey and proceeding through Dalkeith. The rivers converge just about north-east of Dalkeith at the edge of the grounds of Dalkeith Palace. From here the River Esk continues north for about , skirting Inveresk, and flowing into the Firth of Forth at Musselburgh, East Lothian. ==Photo gallery== Image:Esk sign.jpg|River Esk signpost Image:Esk weir.jpg|River Esk weir Image:Esk fishing.jpg|River Esk angler Image:Esk bank erosion.jpg|River Esk bank erosion Image:Esk swans.jpg|River Esk swans Image:Esk Musselburgh1.jpg|River Esk, Musselburgh Image:Esk Rennie's Bridge.jpg|River Esk, Rennie's Bridge 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「River Esk, Lothian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
