It rises Annanhead Hill and flows through the Devil's Beef Tub, Moffat and Lockerbie, reaching the sea at Annan, Dumfries and Galloway. {{anchor|Etymology}}NameThe etymology of the River Annan is unknown, although some sources{{who|date=May 2013}} suggest it may mean simply "water", from a Celtic language. It gave its name to Annandale, a former stewartry comprehending a large portion of modern Dumfriesshire, and to the port town of Annan near its mouth. DescriptionThe Annan rises on Annanhead Hill, five miles north of Moffat, and near the source of the Tweed.{{sfnp|EB|1878}} 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 Kennel Water from the west and the Dryfe Water from the east.{{sfnp|EB|1878}} It reaches the sea 2 miles past the port of Annan. Popular cultureThe 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 (Child 215). Versions of this song have been recorded by artists including Nic Jones[1] 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. Portland band the Decemberists recorded a song entitled Annan Water on their 2009 "folk opera" concept album, The Hazards of Love.
