A wind turbine blade passing through Hawick town centre
This 65 metre blade weighing 16 tonnes was photographed from an elevated position at the roundabout near Morrisons as it was slowly moving from Mart Street into Weensland Road. The blades are transported on a blade lifter from a transition point near St Boswells to the Pines Burn Wind Farm approximately 6km southwest of Bonchester Bridge. On straight roads the blade is almost horizontal but on tight corners and in built up areas the blade can be raised to an angle of sixty degrees. Shortly after entering Weensland Road the blade was lowered to pass under overhead cables.

Terraced housing, Teviotside Terrace
An impressive terrace where North Bridge Street on the left turns into Teviotside Terrace on the right. This must have one of the posh parts of Hawick in the nineteenth century.
