The Road Is Long ...with not so many a winding turn. The road to Halliburton, above Greenlaw, is deceptively long and takes the visitor through improved pastureland and beside coniferous plantations.

Approach To A Beech-lined Avenue No doubt helpful in keeping snow off the road in winter to some extent, this Beech-lined approach to Halliburton Farm (off to the left of shot) is in full leaf.

Remains Of A Pumping Station As yet I have been unable to find any information on this building, other than it was present in mapping as far back as 1965. My theory is that it was a pumping station for water abstracted from the upper reaches of the Blackadder Water, a few hundred metres to the west. To the right of this building, in the middle of a field, are the remains of a small brick structure. There are also other structures on the slope overlooking the floodplain of the Blackadder Water, to the west.

Sandstone Bridge Over The Blackadder Water A twin-arched sandstone bridge carrying Halliburton Road over the upper reaches of the Blackadder Water. An inscription between the two arches on this (upstream) side of the bridge notes that the bridge dates from 1869.
