    The Old Tweed Bridge was opened by Sir Walter Scott in 1832 and served as the main link between Selkirk and Galashiels for 140 years.

    It’s a three-span listed masonry arch that crosses the River Tweed. It now operates as a link for pedestrians and cyclists only after structural weaknesses meant it closed to vehicles in 2011.
