Cauld Stream is a picturesque freshwater marsh located in Roxburghshire, Scotland. It is nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills, providing a serene and tranquil setting for nature enthusiasts and visitors alike.

The stream itself is fed by several small tributaries and springs, resulting in a steady flow of crystal-clear water. It meanders through the marsh, creating small pools and ponds along its course. These pools are home to a diverse array of aquatic plants and animals, contributing to the rich biodiversity of the area.

Surrounding the stream are vibrant marsh plants such as reeds, sedges, and rushes. These plants not only add to the beauty of the landscape but also serve as important habitats for various species of birds, insects, and amphibians. The marsh acts as a sanctuary for numerous bird species, including waterfowl like ducks and swans, as well as wading birds such as herons and egrets.

Cauld Stream is also renowned for its abundance of fish, with species like brown trout and salmon populating its waters. Anglers are often seen casting their lines, hoping for a bountiful catch. The stream's clear and unpolluted water provides an ideal environment for these fish to thrive.

Visitors to Cauld Stream can enjoy leisurely walks along its banks, taking in the stunning scenery and observing the diverse wildlife. The marsh offers a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of city life, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil escape.
