The Edlingham Burn is a 8.5km river system offering modest angling opportunities despite its small size. This modest watercourse supports populations of trout, salmon and eel, though anglers should be prepared for challenging conditions given the poor water quality status. The burn presents an interesting prospect for dedicated anglers willing to work in less-than-ideal conditions.
