ESK (The), a river of the N of Cumberland. It comes in from Scotland; is a large stream at entering; forms, for about a mile, the boundary between Scotland and England; runs, about 8½ miles south-westward to the head of the Solway frith, about midway between the Sark and the Eden; and receives, on its left, near the end of its course, the river Line.
