The Edrom Arch near Duns in the Scottish Borders. The image shows a stone arch above a doorway. There are three layers of intricately carved though rather weathered decorations. Descending out of the frame are pillars either side of the doorway. There is part of a sloping roof visible at the top of the frame. The arch is in sunlight.
The amazing Norman carving on the Edrom Arch near Duns in the Scottish Borders. This is all that remains of a church that was built in the early 1100s and demolished in 1732. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Photo taken on a sunny day from Scott’s View in the far south of Scotland, looking towards the Eildon Hills in the distance set against a blue sky with small wisps of white cloud. In the foreground is a stone wall with a clipped hedge and a tree silhouetted against the sun. In the far right corner a bit of lens flare is visible at the bottom of the image.

Scott’s View, looking towards the Eildon Hills, so named because it was a favourite vantage point of Sir Walter Scott, whose home Abbotsford is a short distance away.

Greenlaw Town Hall. The image shows a grand but diminutive stone building from a corner angle. The frontage faces to our left. It has single-storey wings either side of a central section that has columns and is topped off by a dome. The sky is blue.
Greenlaw Town Hall, in the heart of Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders. Built between 1829 and 1831, it has been beautifully restored after years of dereliction but has again fallen on hard times. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

Given in, got tickets for #Edinburgh #Deftones show. Not into these big shows but they are a band I have to see once in my life. Driving an hour and half home afterwards, par for the course living in the #ScottishBorders
Well done oor Simon, @scottishwater.bsky.social and #ScottishBorders volunteers - great to see more native trees getting into the ground at Knowes Dean Reservoir. #RightTreeRightPlace #TreePlanting👏 🌱
The River Tweed at Coldstream. The image shows a sunny view down a slope to a river that enters the frame at the bottom of the right side before progressing to the middle, then curving right again to a distant four-arched stone bridge. Above the left bank are buildings, partly hidden by trees. The sky is blue.

As today, February 20th, is recognised as the World Day of Social Justice, we felt that it would be more than fitting to acknowledge one of the most important leaders for the civil rights movement in the 19th century- Frederick Douglass. He was the leader of the abolitionist movement and a suffragist who devoted his life to social justice. Unfortunately, today also marks the anniversary of his passing. On February 20th, 1895, he died of a heart attack shortly after attending a meeting of the National Council of Women in Washington D.C. He was later buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York, where he had lived for over twenty years. But, did you know that Frederick Douglass also lived in Scotland? He lived right here in Edinburgh, while travelling extensively across the United Kingdom in hopes of gathering more support for his abolitionist cause. Walter and Arthur are commemorating this day by posing in front of the plaque in the town of Hawick in the Scottish Borders. It was near this site that Frederick Douglass addressed the people of Hawick about the immorality of slavery on November 2nd, 1846. "Without a struggle, there can be no progress." ~ Frederick Douglass

A row of trees along the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, with winter sunlight filtering through them.
From my walk along the River Tweed on the edge of Galashiels today. Paths that my ancestors no doubt walked too, as my great-grandfather’s childhood home was just a little bit along the river at Galafoot.
