All about the view

Oct 2019

Great place to stop for a few minutes. It's very symbolical as the border between England and Scotland. Scottish flag at one side of the road, English flag at the other side! The view is really lovely in all the directions in good weather.

Good photo stop

Jan 2019 • Couples

It is good place to stop for a couple of minutes. First of all, it is quite symbolical as the border between England and Scotland. Second of all, the view is really nice in all the directions, espiacially when the weather is good.

Carter Bar, Byrness - 20/01/2019

Jan 2019 • Couples

Carter Bar is well worth the stop for travellers on this stretch of the A68.

Carter Bar marks the point along the A68 (Edinburgh - Newcastle upon Tyne, via Jedburgh road) at which the traveller crosses the Anglo-Scottish border. It's a great spot, as lay-bys go. It was refreshingly clean of rubbish, or at least it was when my partner and I visited early on this past Sunday morning. In summer it can get busy, and a bagpiper plays people over the crossing. Passports not required.

I'd love the chance to visit Carter Bar again in the future.

Layby, with a viewpoint over the Scottish- English border. Great views of the Cheviot hills and the unspoilt countryside.

Viewpoint on the border

Sept 2018 • Family

We pulled in to the small car park to admire the views despite it being misty and cloudy. Its right on the border between scotland and england, and so high you can see for miles.
