A former mine track nearing the Wauchope Forest The term 'track' is used very loosely; it is little more than slightly different vegetation from the predominantly heather moorland characteristic of the area. The mines were in use in the first half of the 19th century and provided coal for Jedburgh. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020.
