Coldstream Bridge


Coldstream Bridge is a Grade II listed bridge, it connects Scotland to England crossing the River Tweed.  It was originally a toll bridge but the charging of tolls ceased in 1826.  The toll house on the Scottish side of the bridge had a dual function, weddings were conducted here until 1856

It would be wrong of me not to include my home village of Greenlaw on my trip around the Scottish Shires.
Greenlaw had at one time been the county town of Berwickshire but after much toing and froing  between nearby Duns (which ended in 1904), Duns was finally named as the county town of Berwickshire.  Greenlaw I think is the winner as the Town Hall which has recently seen some renovations is a stunning building and in my opinion nothing that Duns has could ever compete.
