 * I would not agree with the request to delete. The source of the data for this article is provided by three governmental agencies responsible for cartography of river drainage basins. This is the SEPA in Scotland, the UK data and the SANDRE water project in France as I have cited in the article. The maps for each drainage basin is also listed in the reference section. As the source data is freely available from these agencies, any individual can download the source and verify the statements of the article. The continental divide between each drainage basin forms the edge of the divide.Sledbird (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
