There certainly wasn’t much traffic about in those days and a Sitka plantation now covers the top part of Meigle Hill in the background. The bridge just beyond the cyclists over the former Waverley Railway Line was demolished in November 2006 as part of the Galashiels Inner Relief Road Scheme. This photo was taken by my mother and copied from a Kodachrome slide.
