A bridge too far
A view of the old railway line near our house which was part of the old Dolphinton to Leadburn line. It was discontinued in the early forties of the last century and the railway tracks were removed although everything else was left in place as was.
Which means there is now a railway bridge sitting in the middle of a field. There is a similar bridge still in use next to our house over which the public road leads, but the one you can view in this picture now longer serves any useful purpose.
Yet despite that fact the bridge in the field has a sign with a weight restriction next to it (I'll try and catch it on a blip one day when the Highland cattle aren't stationed near it!), something we would love our bridge to have but sadly it hasn't and the council has no plans to reinstate it! And yes, I do occasionally think I should take matters into my own hands and simply dig up the sign and move it!
