Undiscovered Scotland<p>205 years ago today. The Union Chain Bridge over the River Tweed upstream from Berwick-upon-Tweed opened to traffic on 26 July 1820. At the time it was the world's longest iron suspension bridge.

Wen<p>Had a great evening at ‘Stow of <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Wedale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wedale</span></a> and Heriot Church’. Not my normal evening hangout, but Andy Nairn was talking abut his new novel hosted by the church (photo before event) and Wedale books. Gordy did a great job exploring the book and the Borders background.

Wen<p>Remembrance swim 18 of 61</p><p>Branxholme Easter Loch</p><p>Another quiet swim. Perfect for a skinny dip and convenient for a run along paths in a nearby wood. 2 lengths of the loch (about 1.5k) and 8k of cushioned tracks through the wood. I love the ‘bench’ which has been here since before we first swam it.

Wen<p>On our way to a swim. The Collie didn’t bother waiting for the gate to be opened.

Wen<p>Spotted today</p><p>Getting out of St Mary’s Loch I saw what looked like a rider on the footpath above me with a dug running by his side. There was something odd about the gait - very upright.. It was a Segway - never seen one of those in off road the wild. (photo for illustration)</p><p>Coming through Selkirk on the way back - two old ladies sitting on twin seats on an electric trike pedalled by someone with a lot off puff.

Wen<p>Remembrance swim 17 of 61</p><p>St Mary's Loch (not to be confused with the Loch of the Lowes).</p><p>A run along the side of the loch, and then a swim by the sailing club. Very enjoyable and it was different to be able to use the buoys as landmarks to allow long circuits to be swum. Amiable temperatures, 9k run and 1.5k swim.

Wen<p>Remembrance swim 16 of 61</p><p>An unnamed lochan near Selkirk.</p><p>Not terribly inspiring, but nice and close and on my list. There is a story to the choice (see last photo). Shallowish but a pleasant swim if a little close to the A7. It was however far enough away for me to decide that I would not scare any drivers skinny dipping.

Wen<p>A noisy evening. We are 25metres above the burn that is normally crossable, at points with a hop a skip and ‘bloody hell splash’. But this has come up over 2 hours.
