Dye Water, a stream of Longformacus and Cranshaws parishes, in the Lammermuir district of Berwickshire. It rises, at an altitude of 1600 feet, on the Haddingtonshire border, 2½ miles E by S of Lanner Law, and thence winds 13¾ miles eastward, till, after a total descent of 1000 feet, it falls into the Whitadder, ¾ mile WSW of Ellem inn. A little above Longformacus village it receives Watch Water, running 6 miles east-by-northward through or along the eastern border of the southern section of Cranshaws; passes, higher up, the curious old shooting-box of Byrecleuch; and everywhere, but especially in its upper reaches, abounds in excellent trout.Ord. Sur., sh. 33, 1863.
