Border Berries at Rutherford Farm

Two large fields on the south side of the main farm buildings are used during the summer months as a pick your own fruit farm. The main fruits are strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants and black currants. On this occasion I was picking strawberries.

A large area on the south side of Rutherford Farm buildings is used during the summer months as a pick your own fruit farm. The main fruits are strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, red currants, black currants, Tay berries and black berries. Due to an unseasonably cold spring and recent inclement weather some fruits will ripen later than usual but strawberries were ready for picking on my visit.

The "Hoot Bridge", Rutherford

Overbridge which carried the Kelso Branch over a minor road. There is a sharp left on the other side - hence the owl message NT6430 : Motorists, hoot your horn!.

The Weir at Rutherford Lodge

Crossing the Tweed from bank to bank this weir may well be the longest on the river. In spate conditions it's certainly one of the noisiest.
