A road going nowhere A curious stretch of road! It's broad as it leaves the A68 to the west but it ends within perhaps 30 metres of the junction and the height of the kerbstones and roughness of surface shows that no 'black top' has been applied. Beyond the road end a slope descends so steeply towards the Jed Water that is seems unlikely that it would continue directly in that direction.
