It's not at all obvious, because it's apparently Castle Gate in Jedburgh. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.4760243,-2.5573971,3a,19.5y,21.1h,82.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdPc4vA19Q0UQm7vNNTZ5rA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only found out by searching for the image on the Flickr album mentioned on the image. The link to Jedburgh came from a comment about the photo on Flickr. There are a number of cracking photos in that album which I may "steal" with appropriate acknowledgements of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that ain't even half of it, as it continues for another 50-75m right up to the Castle & Jail at the top. Great burgers at the Belters Bar (white building on the left). Junction at the crossroads is different nowadays.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let me be brutally honest I was wrong no ifs ands or buts, a shame gone through this life and first time I have admitted that.😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
