Proposed move[edit]

Unless I am mistaken this watercourse is called the "Yarrow Water" not "River Yarrow". I'll move it unless there are any objections. Ben Mac Dui 16:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable external sources, eg. the Gazeteer for Scotland and the Ordnance Survey, refer to it as Yarrow Water. A very uncontroversial move surely? WP:BOLD applies, as ever. --Mais oui! (talk) 07:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
