The A1 at Blackburn Roadend Looking north. The road and the railway passes through a shallow gap at the eastern end of the Lammermuir Hills. The red and white marker indicating a break [farm gate, drive entrance, joining road etc.] in rural road margins was used for many years on the Continent before being adopted in the UK.

Litter on the ex-A1 An ideal site for dumpers - a bit of the A1 which was bypassed after the Penmanshiel Tunnel collapsed in 1979. As a result the railway, and so the road, had to be realigned. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3592056">NT7967 : Penmanshiel Tunnel Disaster Memorial</a>. Google Earth imagery of April 2021 shows this caravan, and three other &#039;things&#039; of similar size nearby - they have now gone.
