Not such a twee bridge across the Tweed After the Peebles to Galashiels railway closed in 1962, a local landowner purchased a stretch of the trackbed including Cardrona Station, which he used as a hay store, and this bridge across the River Tweed as an access between his fields either side of the river. A couple of decades later, planning permission was obtained for the present hotel, golf course and new village. The station was refurbished as a cafe and village shop and the river bridge continued as an access between two halves of the golf course. It seems ironic that the bridge once carried heavy trains but rather lighter cars had to keep 20 metres apart. More recently the bridge has also become a formal part of the Peebles to Innerleithen cycleway

Peebles Show comes to Cardrona The annual Peebles agricultural show moved to Nether Horsburgh this year as the usual venue at Hay Lodge Park has been unavailable because of work on drainage improvement. A temporary 30mph speed limit was set up near the show entrance on the A72, with shuttle buses from Peebles and free parking in the field.

Trees across the path, Cardona Forest An area of windthrown trees following Storm Arwen (26-27 November 2021). The storm force northerly winds particularly affected eastern coastal fringes of Scotland and northern England, but damage to forestry plantations occurred further inland as here. The path is Fergus's Trail, here contouring the eastern side of Cardrona Hill. The path here is impassable but an alternative can be found keeping to the outside of the damaged area, rejoining the path further on.
