The house next door to the March Bank Hotel is the first house as you enter Scotland and the owner has created this welcoming kiltie out of an old tree.
This old stone within the tree belt at Scots Dyke appears to mark the boundary between England (left) and Scotland (right).
This border crossing was on the old turnpike road on which the stagecoach would have travelled from Carlisle to Edinburgh. The old toll house on the border still stands but today the road is now the A7 trunk road and the traffic travels much faster.
Failte gu Alba - Welcome to Scotland.
Also this afternoon, I met two friends from another forum and showed them around the airport.
Finally, not a kilts shot, but Riverkilt will be interested in the World War 2 control tower as his father served at this airfield for a time during the war. The control tower was built for the Royal Air Force in 1941. It has been discretely modernised with a new cupola and double glazed windows. The airport restaurant is in the ground floor, with the passenger terminal being an adjoining post war wooden structure off to the right.
