Looking at Tweed Green from the south side of the river, the hill on the right is Venlaw, law being a familiar term for a hill in the lowlands. The footbridge is Priorsford bridge, a shortcut for lots of Peebles residents, including the kids at the High School.The white building was the old hospital years ago, where many of the native folk of the town were born. They are known as Gutterbluids, and the incomers are Stooriefits! Peebles babies are usually born in Edinburgh these days.
The spire is St Andrews Leckie Church of Scotland in the Eastgate.
It's a lovely walk along the Green, across Priorsford Bridge, back to Tweed Bridge on the south side of the river, with a choice of crossing the bridge and returning to the Green or continuing upriver to cross Fotheringham Bridge, Manor Bridge or Lyne Bridge, depending on how energetic you feel, and returning along the northern bank of the river!
