@@bassbusvideo4510 I certainly hope so! Brought back fantastic memories; we used to stop at Carham station for a cuppa most Sundays on the way to Berwick, and Mid Ord was exciting not for being the first to the sea, but who saw the railway line first...happy days! I was also on the 1963 Glenny's Special that features in Bruce McCartney's Memories of Lost Border Railways, I was only 4 years old but still have vivid memories of the trip to Berwick via Boswells and Tweedmouth. Kind regards, Ross
@@rossturnbull8047 What fantastic memories. I never knew the railway when it was working but I get so much energy walking along it and imagining what it would have been like with trains running through the cuttings and under the bridges. These early childhood memories you have must be some of the best.
Excellent video.. thanks. Love the drone shots. I often walk past Maxton Station house near St Boswells. Looking forward to future episodes through to the Waverley lìne.
These videos are excellent. They give a good impression of the line in a modern context. I love the drone footage especially when it’s fairly low and slow. It’s like you’re moving on a train. Looking forward to the rest of your travels. I intend to walk in the opposite direction from st boswells but I can see the problems in making progress. I can’t find a publication that gives a guide for walking this railway. Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching Bruce. I believe the line is somewhat over grown heading west of Roxburgh. Can't confirm that as I haven't reached there yet. You might be interested in a book "Walking Scotland's Lost Railways" written by Robin Howie and John McGregor. It details a number of Scottish lines and gives directions for walks.
Thanks I don’t think that I have that book. Have you read my book on ‘The Spirit of the Borders Railway’? I describe some walks in there. It’s out of print but it is available as a PDF from me or from Douglas Blades books who has one or two copies left. Ps Are you a bass player?
@@bruceball6312 Thanks for the heads up on your book. There seems to be lots of mentions of it on the net. I am a bass player and put my music up as BassBus Music on TH-cam.
Excellent way to follow an old line that has intrigued me for years. Sunday school trip to Tweedmouth a fond if distant memory catching a train from Hawick and changing at Boswells! What drone are you using?
Excellent, looking forward to the rest of the journey!
Thanks Ross. Lockdown permitting I might even be able to venture past Kelso some time in the future.

Love this. I live close to the line in Tweedmouth.
Good place to live.
Nice local history content and great drone footage 🙏👍🙏🏿
Thank you and thanks for the sub.

Thanks Colin. If we continue to have successive lockdowns it might take me a few years to get to St. Boswells :-)))

Great vid - thank you
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. I have more material along this line but not made the time to put it out yet.

Great memories for you traveling on the line. I'm using a Mavic 2 Pro. Thanks for watching.
