Whiteadder Water In Spate A view of the Whiteadder Water at Hutton Castle gauging station after exceptionally heavy overnight rain on 6/7 July 2012. At the time this photograph was taken (1345 hrs, 7 July) the water level was approximately 2.8 metres; on average the level is 0.5 metres and the maximum recorded since records began at the site in January 1970 was nearly 3.3 metres in October 2002.

Upstream of the gauging station is a footbridge over the Whiteadder Water and beyond that is Bluestone Ford. The ford connects the Berwickshire villages of Chirnside and Hutton.
