This leafy tract of ground was once the route of a railway line from Peebles to Galashiels, opened in October 1864. As it severed the grounds of the Peebles Hydropathic establishment, first built in 1881 and completely rebuilt in 1907 after a disastrous fire, this graceful footbridge was erected across the railway. When the railway was closed in February 1962, the track removed and its cutting infilled to the level of the surrounding ground, the bridge was allowed to remain as an unusual decorative feature.
