  • Die Royal Border Bridge ist ein 658 m langes Eisenbahnviadukt zwischen Tweedmouth und Berwick-upon-Tweed. Die Eisenbahn überquert dabei die Mündung des Flusses Tweed in die Nordsee. Über 28 Bögen in einer Höhe von 38 m verläuft die East Coast Main Line über die Brücke, die symbolisch mit königlichem Plazet den Übergang von England nach Schottland markiert. Der heutige Grenzpunkt befindet sich ein paar Meilen weiter im Norden. Entworfen und erbaut wurde die Brücke unter Leitung von Robert Stephenson zwischen 1847 und 1850 und in einer zwölfminütigen Zeremonie durch Königin Viktoria offiziell eröffnet.

It has 28 arches, constructed of brick but aesthetically faced with stone. The bridge is 38 metres above the river itself. In the 1990s it underwent significant repair work for the first time, in a Railtrack project with some funding from English Heritage. The Internet Stamp Company issued a special hand-stamp to celebrate the 160th anniversary of the Bridge on 29 August 2010 at Berwick upon Tweed.
