   • 1

     The point where the borderline enters / leaves the North Sea.

   • 2

     An old bracken-covered drystone wall marks the borderline under the sea cliffs where the border meets the North Sea.

   • 3

     The border line cutting through birch trees as it follows the Scots' Dike. This part of the line was agreed upon in 1552. The dike represents a compromise as the two sides agreed to divide a disputed area called The Debateable Lands.

   • 4

     A farmer’s ford crossing the border as it follows the River Sark.

   • 5

     The border line cutting through igneous rock protruding from the top of a hill called The Schil. The rock was formed by volcanic activity around 400 million years ago.

   • 6

     A farming and fishing road on the English bank of the River Tweed, closed after part of it was washed away. The movement of the river and its regular flooding often remove or reposition sections of England or Scotland.

   • 7

     The border splitting the English Dreeper Island and the Scottish Kippie Island on the River Tweed. The early Ordnance Survey Maps from a century ago show the borderline following a water channel separating the two islands. However, the river has now filled the channel with silt and the islands have become one.

   • 8

     An old drystone wall marks the line of the border through Kielder Forest. An early map shows this area of the border as still 'disputed' in 1794.

   • 9

     A ‘Welcome to England’ sign as a right of way crosses the border at the head of the North Tyne Valley.

   • 10

     The borderline following the ‘Boundary Road’ close to Berwick upon Tweed. This part of line was set as a buffer zone around the town of Berwick in 1482.

   • 11

     Looking across the border from England into Scotland as it follows the River Liddel.

   • 12

     The border line cutting across the natural features of the Cheviot Hills from White Law Nick. An early military survey map shows this area of the border as 'disputed' in 1755.

   • 13

     A modern ‘Welcome to Scotland’ sign at the A74 / M6 border crossing.

   • 14

     The borderline following a hedge through farmland in the ‘Eastern Debatable Lands’. This part of the border was disputed until 1799 when the Sheriff of Roxburgh arbitrated on the division of the land.

   • 15

     Power lines crossing the border, as it follows the River Sark through a farmer's field.

   • 16

     The borderline crossing an area of felled woodland. Local people have said this patch of trees is known as ‘No Man’s Land’.

   • 17

     A stile over the border fence as it crosses Carter Fell in the Cheviot Hills. A map from 1794 shows this area of the border as 'disputed'.

   • 18

     The border line following an unmarked ploughed bridleway through the centre of a field, Low Cocklaw.

   • 19

     A broken flag pole at the Carter Bar crossing point. Carter Bar is the highest road crossing along the border and is regularly exposed to high precipitation, strong winds and low temperatures.

   • 20

     The border line crossing open moorland on Kielder Moor between Carter Fell and Peel Fell.
