Old Photograph A702 Bridge Over The Lyne Water West Linton Scotland


Old photograph of the A702 Bridge over The Lyne Water by West Linton, Scotland. The West Water bridge is said to have been originally constructed in the 17th century. The Lyne Water is a tributary of the River Tweed which rises in the Pentland Hills of southern Scotland at Baddinsgill Reservoir. It runs through West Linton and Romannobridge, passes Flemington and Lyne Station and enters the Tweed west of Peebles. It floods regularly in winter and occasionally in summer. There is free fishing above Flemington Bridge, and below Flemington the river is part of the Peebles fishing authority. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
