The old road to Galashiels Golf Course

This used to be the only vehicular access to the golf course and being a single track road, it often caused problems at this section where the road takes a U-turn at a bridge over the Ladhope Burn Image] to the right of the walker. When two cars met here, it was up to one of the drivers to reverse back to a suitable spot to let the other car pass. When the Ladhope Estate housing scheme was developed, access to the course was linked in through the estate and this section of road became redundant, and it is now only used by pedestrians.
