For this #SundayintheBorders why not take a walk in the footsteps of #Romans & explore one of several walks passing close to #Trimontium Fort site as detailed in Paths Around #Melrose, available from the museum.

🌉 Leaderfoot has 3 bridges over the Tweed — & once a 4th! Romans built a stone bridge here to carry Dere Street from #Trimontium, its site now lost. Today you’ll see the 1780 Drygrange Bridge, the 1968 road bridge & the striking 19-arch viaduct (1863).

On Friday, I posted a Little Planet from the side of Leaderfoot Viaduct.
Now here’s one taken from directly underneath.
Same viaduct, new visual energy.
Which one do you prefer?

Ever flown a drone low under a viaduct to make a Little Planet?
Leaderfoot Viaduct, 1863 – 19 sandstone arches over the Tweed.
Old structure, fresh view.
Want your site reimagined from above? Let’s talk.
