Leaderfoot Viaduct

I passed by here this evening - it is very close to the main road north.  There are three bridges clustered together: this one, which used to carry a railway line: the old road bridge, which I'm standing on, with puddles on the parapet: and the modern concrete edifice which carries the road. The Romans also bridged the River Tweed here, but that one is long gone.

It is a wonderfully elegant sight on a sunny day when the red sandstone really glows.  Today was dismal, rain falling most of the afternoon and evening. And cold. I had to dig out some woolly socks!
