    Dere Street is the modern name for the Roman road built in AD 79-81 between York and the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh. The route of Dere Street is well established across the Cheviot Hills and on to Melrose. The picture shows the England-Scotland border fence and the gate where Dere Street crosses into Scotland. This gate (which was hard to open in August 2022!) is located at Black Halls, between Brownhart Law and Blackhall Hill in the Cheviot Hills. It was inspiring and a great adventure to follow in the footsteps of history.
