As part of the Borders Railway construction, the B709 has been realigned to cross the railway S of the village; the original A7 junction has been closed off and a slip road now gives access to the village.

The 1745 from Tweedbank to Edinburgh Waverley approaches the site of Heriot Station on the day passenger services resumed on the northern third of the Waverley Line. As soon as I took this, I put down my camera and clapped. Looking forward to travelling on the line soon, but don't expect shots from the train!

Rough path near White Bridge, Heriot

The path shown running ENE from White Bridge cannot be recommended. The section shown here looks straightforward but led here through a flooded ditch, avoided by taking to the undergrowth on the right.

A forlorn hope, Heriot

On an abortive attempt to follow the path shown on the S bank of the Heriot Water between White Bridge and Kilcoulter Bridge. Beyond this point the route was heavily overgrown with fallen trees, swampland and barbed wire adding to the fun.
