Old travel Blog photograph of vintage vehicles at Carter Bar a place on the boundary between England and Scotland located tweleve miles from Jedburgh, Scottish Borders, Scotland. Carter Bar is where the A68 road crosses the border and forms a pass located at the top of Redesdale in the Cheviot Hills at an elevation of 1,371 feet. In 1575 Carter Bar was the scene of the Raid of the Redeswire, one of the last large-scale battles between the English and the Scots. Carter Bar was the location of Truce days, that were held between the Lord Wardens of the Marches of both countries to dispense cross border justice in the Late Middle Ages and Early modern period. Truce days were also held at Carlisle and Berwick upon Tweed. Carter Bar forms a popular point for tourists to stop and take photographs on the Anglo-Scottish border. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
