Berwick - Historic Border Town

Last weekend we spent an afternoon in the beautiful historic border town of Berwick. Just over an hour South of Edinburgh and only just inside the modern English Border, Berwick has for centuries been fought over by the English and the Scots.

A walk along the town's ancient walls at the mouth of the river Tweed was made strangely atmospheric by a very localised har fog that rose from the river.




The very old and somewhat delapidated stone buildings of the town added to a sense of the town's heritage.
I really liked it and hope to return to do more sightseeing on a clearer day. We would certianly recommend a visit if you get the chance.
