Group of nine filter beds or settling tanks situated to the N of the paper mill on the opposite bank of the Whiteadder Water. Orginally linked to the mill by a small railway viaduct which carried a siding off the Reston to St Boswells railway. The viaduct or bridge survives.
The filter beds are first depicted on the 2nd edition of the OS 25-inch map (Berwickshire, 1898-1899), the current |OS digital maps show a new building on the SW side.
