Rural East Lothian : County Boundary In The Monynut Forest I suppose that, technically speaking, it is no longer a county boundary but a unitary authority boundary that crosses the road under that concrete strip.

At this point, the boundary between East Lothian (formerly the county of East Lothian; before that Haddingtonshire) and the Scottish Borders (formerly Berwickshire in this area) follows the course of the Monynut Water, which flows from right to left in a culvert under the road.

The viewer is standing in East Lothian, the hill ahead is in the Scottish Borders.
