River Tweed Boat Covers

The River Tweed runs 97 miles from its source in the southern Scottish uplands to the North Sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed, forming for much of its lower course the border between Scotland and England. The Tweed is internationally renowned as one of the world's great salmon fishing rivers, with beats between Kelso, Coldstream, and Berwick commanding some of the highest prices in British game fishing. The river passes through magnificent Border country, with the ruined abbeys at Melrose, Dryburgh, and Jedburgh providing architectural highlights, and the rolling Cheviot Hills and Border Forests providing a dramatic backdrop. Small motorboats, rowing boats, and coracles are used for salmon fishing throughout the river. Berwick-upon-Tweed at the tidal estuary offers limited but practicable moorings for small craft. Scottish Borders weather is classic upland British: frequent rain, cold winters, and the persistent westerly winds that sweep across the open upland landscape. Quality boat covers are essential for any craft left on or near the Tweed. UK Boat Covers provides marine-grade covers for fishing boats and small craft. No VAT.
