Welcome!

This blog is to introduce you to my town - Peebles, in the Scottish Borders - just one photo at a time, with perhaps a little description and maybe some history thrown in. I hope you will find it interesting. The title comes from a historical comment made by someone who preferred Peebles to the great and famous cities. I know how they felt. It's always a pleasure to return here however long you've been away.

If you want to make a comment, ask me a question, or merely just want to say "hello, I've dropped in", you can do that by using the comment section below each entry. (Just click on the word COMMENT and follow instructions. ) I'd love to know what you think of what you see of my town.

I don't have an expensive elaborate camera so the photo quality may not be brilliant, but I'd like to think my pics will please you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to Mary H for the lovely designs I used for my background, and thanks too to all of you who have chosen to support my blog by becoming "followers".

Priorsford Bridge

Anna Buchan, sister of John of the "Thirtynine steps" wrote about Peebles in the first half of the 20th century, though she called it Priorsford. This is Priorsford Bridge, a footbridge that links a residential part of the town to the south of the river, with Tweed Green and the centre of town on the north side.

The river flows downstream under the bridge and continues its way towards Berwick-upon-Tweed on the east coast, not of Scotland but of nothern England, though it still has some way to go from here.
