Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Kelvin above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

3 gauged tributaries, 6 gauges

Glazert Water

Joins the Kelvin between Bridgend and Dryfield, no more than 3.7 km by river above Dryfield.

Lennox Castle0.23 m 33m agoNormal
Milton of Campsie0.43 m 18m agoNormal

Its water passes Dryfield and every gauge below it on the Kelvin. It does not pass Bridgend or the gauges above it.

Luggie Water

Joins the Kelvin between Bridgend and Dryfield, no more than 3.7 km by river above Dryfield.

Condorrat0.35 m 18m agoNormal
Oxgang0.27 m 18m agoNormal

Its water passes Dryfield and every gauge below it on the Kelvin. It does not pass Bridgend or the gauges above it.

Gauged streams joining Luggie Water

Allander Water

Joins the Kelvin between Dryfield and Killermont, no more than 7.9 km by river above Killermont.

Milngavie0.49 m 33m agoNormal

Its water passes Killermont and every gauge below it on the Kelvin. It does not pass Dryfield or the gauges above it.

Where the Kelvin goes

No gauge below Killermont is known on the river map.

Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Kelvin and have no gauge of their own. Each has a page with what is known about it: the next gauge downstream, and any storm overflows or water-sampling points placed on it.

Storm overflows upstream

49 storm overflows are traced upstream of Killermont, the Kelvin’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Kelvin itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Killermont: 2,519 overflow events over 2,860 hours in total, across the 24 that have a figure. 3 had no data that year; 22 have no 2025 figure. Scottish Water counts overflow events, not the 12/24-hour spills counted in England and Wales, so this total cannot be set beside theirs.

Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Kelvin includes the smaller streams that join it there. Every overflow traced is listed here, each stretch in full. Back to the short lists →

4 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Kelvin’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.
