These pictures were taken during a short stay in Hawick at the end of July 2004.
All were shot on a Nikon D100 camera, as high resolution raw images, and reduced to small images for web display.
Most images are available for reproduction as high resolution files at normal rates (except for those taken within English Heritage or Historic Scotland sites.) The pictures on this site only represent a small fraction of those taken, especially of Hawick; please enquire if you want other images.
Please contact me through the comments page to discuss fees and usage. Fees may be waived for suitable non-commercial web use only. Prints are also available for framing.

Berwick: The Ramparts

 
 
Berwick, The Ramparts
 
 

Berwick is around the most northerly part of England, on the north bank of the Tweed, and more northerly than the parts of Scotland I visited this year. It was an important military centre for the years when the border was fought over, and the whole town is surrounded by wide grassed ramparts or a wall along by the riverside. We walked the whole distance round, eating our lunch looking out to the sea across the mouth of the Tweed. These pictures are at least roughly in order of our journey around the town.

Berwick also features in the paintings of LS Lowry, and there are several boards on the ramparts showing scenes that he painted here.
