Garvald or Garwald Water, a stream of Eskdalemuir sh, Dumfriesshire, rising, on the southern slope of Ettrick Pen, at an altitude of l850 feet, close to the Sel kirkshire border, and thence winding 65/8 miles south-south-eastward and east-north-eastward till it falls into the White Esk, 2 miles NNW of Eskdalemuir church. It receives a number of mountain tributaries, and makes a magnificent waterfall, called Garvald Linn. This linn is a long descent over a stony channel, sloping here, and there precipitous, between rocky flanks, for the most part naked, but clothed at intervals with copse and brushwood; and forms now a cascade, now a capricious cataract, now a rushing rapid.—Ord. Sur., sh. 16, 1864.
