Hutton is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the Whiteadder Water, in Scottish Borders. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
Flood Zones, Warning Areas and Surface Water are Environment Agency maps and cover England only. Hutton is in Scotland, so they draw little or nothing here — that is where the map ends, not an absence of flood risk. SEPA’s warning areas have their own pages under flood areas.

No recorded flood outline is mapped around the Hutton town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. The Environment Agency's Recorded Flood Outlines cover England only, and Hutton is in Scotland — so an empty record here is an absence of coverage, not an absence of floods.
