203 years ago today. The Union Chain Bridge over the River Tweed upstream from Berwick-upon-Tweed opened to traffic on 26 July 1820. At the time it was the world's longest iron suspension bridge. It reopened after refurbishment earlier this year. More pics and info https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/berwick/unionbridge/index.html

Dryburgh Suspension Bridge is a pedestrian chain bridge in Dryburgh over the River Tweed. The current bridge was built in 1872 and replaces an earlier chain bridge which was the first chain bridge in Scotland when built in 1872. The bridge footpath forms part of the Borders Abbeys Way and also is an additional, optional route on St Cuthbert's Way to visit Dryburgh Abbey.

Ventured out this afternoon for a walk along local section of St Cuthbert’s Way. The light was gorgeous and the scenery really pretty however the ice was treacherous underfoot in parts so there was quite a bit of of clinging to the fence. Anhyoo we took our time and trod carefully so it was all good! #ScottishBorders #ScotlandStartsHere #StCuthbertsWay #RiverTweed #WinterWalks #Walking #Rambling #WeekendWanders #LandscapePhotography #iPhonePics

Weather turned out brighter than expected today, albeit rather chilly (we certainly welcomed the return of blue sky and sunshine after several rather gloomy days!). Had a lovely wander along local section of the St Cuthbert’s Way this afternoon ☀️😎🌈 #ScottishBorders #StCuthbertsWay #RiverTweed

I do love a good bit of intentional camera movement, though so often I forget about it when I'm out with the camera. There's nothing like the gentle gradients of colour, the smooth transitions of light and tone. These were taken at my current favourite spot down by the river, looking up the Tweed towards the setting sun.
