Abstract
This paper assesses whether there have been changes in the magnitude, frequency, duration and seasonality of extreme rainfall over the last 100 years within the middle River Tweed basin, Berwickshire, Scotland. Rainfall patterns are compared with published analyses of other long-term rainfall records to evaluate regional variations in the characteristics of extreme rainfall. Information on the magnitude and frequency of rainfall extremes is used to substantiate and augment a previously established extended flood record for the Whiteadder Water catchment within the middle River Tweed basin.
