Bridge near Scotch Knowe This bridge takes the Cross Border Trail into England (or Scotland if coming the other way), a bike and walking route linking Newcastleton and Kielder and signed by the Forestry Commission.

Scotch Knowe In this image, the photographer is in Cumbria (just!), Scotland is over the Kershope Burn to the left and Northumberland is to the left of the fencepost remains which can be noted to the far right of shot. It's a pity more is not made of this intriguing spot by the forestry authorities. Three largely rotten and barely discernible forestry signs are all that mark this spot. This photograph was taken on a beautiful late afternoon with the lowering sun creating a beautiful light at this remote spot. This photograph was taken during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020/21.
