Berwick-upon-Tweed 130725 192458 2

  • Description

    Bridges over the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Berwick-upon-Tweed, a town that was fought over between Scotland and England for some 400 years, changing hands several times before being taken by Richard Duke of Gloucester (later Richard III) in 1482. Berwick is closer to Edinburgh than it is to Newcastle and the population marginally tend to see themselves as rather more Scottish than English, helped by both rugby and football teams playing in Scottish leagues. However, locally it is said that the majority call themselves Berwickers ahead of Scots or English. Three views of the Royal Tweed Bridge of 1928. This view from Tweedmouth across to Berwick shows two of the three spans, with glimpses of the Royal Border Bridge behind.
