Carter Bar
There is nothing here. There is no reason to stop. Well, there is really. The
A68, which runs from Edinburgh, through the Scottish Borders, south to
Darlington, climbs to a height of 418m/1370ft in the Cheviot Hills. With the
land falling away on either side, the view is fantastic.
Most people drive through
Carter Bar without even realising they had done so. However, two stones on
either side of the A68 mark the reason this place exists. On each of these
stones are two words – one facing north and the other south. The words facing
north say England and the others say Scotland. The only other sign
by the road says Welcome to Scottish Borders.
