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. The nearest bridge is the Old Berwick Bridge opened in 1624, behind which is the Royal Tweed Bridge of 1928, then the Royal Border Bridge, which has carried the railway across the river since 1850.
