Carter Bar Border, England into Scotland.

Carter Bar is the point where the A68 road crosses the border from England into Scotland. It is 45 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 58 miles south of Edinburgh. The border features a popular stopping point with marker stones for England and Scotland, where there are outstanding views of the landscapes of Northumberland and Roxburghshire.

 

Nearby was the last major battle between the forces of England and Scotland. The Raid of Redeswire took place on July 7, 1575. The battle ended with a Scottish victory and the deaths of 25 English and two Scots.

 

These pictures were taken on October 24, 2018. This was the last time I passed over the border at this point, so I'm glad I took them. They were taken using a Nikon d3300 SLR camera and can be seen below and on Clickasnap.

The following is a short video of mine taken whilst crossing over Carter Bar on another occasion.

Thanks for looking and please take a moment to share and follow me on social media.
