Cauld/caul (= weir) on the River Tweed of comparatively
early date, built immediately above the confluence with the
the Teviot, to funnel water in to the mill on the east
bank; about 400m in length, set diagonally across the
river, appears to be built in 2 sections but either using
the thickly-wooded islet "Kelso Anna" as a stepping stone
or, alternatively, partlu buried by the latter. Difficult
to date, but parts may be medieval as a mill associated
with the nearby Abbey existed at Kelso from an early
date, and Slezer's view (pub 1693) appears to show a caul
(though no "Kelso Anna"). Stone-built, some concrete
repairs; paving with framework of timber baulks at the
shallower west end, may be of comparatively recent
(?19th century) work; steel and concrete salmon leap
also close to the west bank, is the only modern-looking
part, but it occupies the site of the salmon leap marked
on the 1857 OS map.
