This is the southwest parapet of a double cross-lattice bridge over the Gala Water just before the north portal of Bowshank Tunnel. The line was closed in 1969 but work is underway to reinstate the route as a single track line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank (the Borders Railway) with a projected completion date of December 2014. Some bridges have gone and will have to be replaced while others have decayed since the line was closed in 1969 and will require major repair work or replacement.
