You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''River Annan''' (((lang-gd|Abhainn Anann))) is a [[river]] in south-west [[Scotland]]. It rises on Annanhead Hill and flows through the [[Devil's Beef Tub]], [[Moffat]] and [[Lockerbie]], reaching the sea at [[Annan, Dumfries and Galloway]] after about 40 miles.<ref>((cite wikisource|chapter=Annan|wslink=Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition|plaintitle=Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition|last=|first=|year=|publisher=|page=|wspage=|scan=))</ref>

((anchor|Etymology))

==Name==
The etymology of the River Annan is unknown, although some sources((who|date=May 2013)) suggest it may mean simply "[[water]]", from a [[Celtic languages|Celtic language]]. It gave its name to [[Annandale, Dumfries and Galloway|Annandale]], a former stewartry comprising a large portion of modern [[Dumfriesshire]], and to the port town of [[Annan, Dumfries and Galloway|Annan]] near its mouth.

==Description==
The Annan rises on [[Annanhead Hill]], five miles north of [[Moffat]], near the source of the [[River Tweed|Tweed]] (((convert|1.9|km|mi|frac=4|disp=or)) away),((sfnp|EB|1878)) and also close to the source of the [[River Clyde|Clyde]] (((convert|10.4|km|mi|frac=4|disp=or|abbr=on)) away).<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/the-tweed-take-a-trip-on-a-river-flowing-with-history-5332911.html The Tweed: Take a trip on a river flowing with history], The Independent, 21 April 2007</ref> It then flows through the [[Devil's Beef Tub]], where it is joined by a secondary source that rises on Hartfell. It then flows past the town of [[Moffat]] and [[Lockerbie]]. Two miles out of Moffat, it is joined by the [[Moffat Water]] flowing westward from [[Loch Skene]] and the [[Evan Water]] flowing eastward from the upper part of [[Lanarkshire]].((sfnp|EB|1878)) Below this, it is joined by the [[Kinnel Water]] from the west and the [[Dryfe Water]] from the east.((sfnp|EB|1878)) It reaches the sea ((convert|2|mi|km|0|abbr=on)) past the port of [[Annan, Dumfries and Galloway|Annan]]. [[Newbie Castle|Newbie Harbour]] on the River Annan once served the Barony of Newbie and lay where the Old Mill Burn has its confluence with the river.

==Popular culture==
The Annan makes several appearances in folk songs from the Borders, and in most appears as a malevolent force, drowning those who try to cross it.
One of the most well recorded is ''Annan Waters'' [[List of the Child Ballads|(Child 215)]]. Versions of this song have been recorded by artists including [[Nic Jones]]<ref>((cite web|url=http://71.174.62.16/Demo/LongerHarvest?Text=App_d215app|title=Child Ballads - Appendix|publisher=|accessdate=21 February 2017))</ref> and [[Kate Rusby]].((Citation needed|date=May 2013))

In online comic [[Gunnerkrigg Court]], the ''Annan Waters'' are a river separating the Court from the Gillitie Forest, and mark the separation between technology/science and magic/nature.

[[The Decemberists]] recorded a song entitled "Annan Water" on their 2009 folk opera concept album, ''[[The Hazards of Love]]''.<ref>((cite web|url=http://decemberists.com/albums/the-hazards-of-love/|title=The Decemberists|publisher=|accessdate=21 February 2017))</ref>
