More about this scene
The 1405ft long concrete four-span Royal Tweed Bridge, designed by L G Mouchel & Partners, was built in 1925-28 to take traffic off the old stone bridge that still stands nearby. The old bridge dates from the 17th century. It has fifteen segmented arches of varying height and width; it is 1168 ft long and built of red sandstone. There is a third bridge at Berwick. It is Robert Stephenson's magnificent 28-arch Royal Border of 1850, which carries the railway 120ft above the river. It took three years to build, but when completed it allowed through running of trains between Edinburgh and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
