Leet Water, a rivulet of Merse district, Berwickshire, rising at a spot 1 mile NNE of Whitsome church, and 230 feet above sea-level, and flowing 135/8 miles south-south-westward and south-eastward through or along the boundaries of Whitsome, Swinton, Eccles, and Coldstream parishes, till, after a descent of 140 feet, it falls into the Tweed, ½ mile S of Coldstream town. It traverses the beautiful grounds of the Hirsel and Lees; has a slow and sluggish current; and contains pike, very large eels, and well-fed trout of from ½ lb. to 3 lbs. in weight. Its waters are mostly preserved.—Ord. Sur., sh. 26, 1864. See Sir Thomas Dick Lauder's Scottish Rivers (Edinb. 1874).
