Geocache Description:

Congratulations to paul+elaine on the FTF.

The Borders Railway is the northern section of the historical Waverley Route that once connected Edinburgh and Carlisle. The Waverley Route was closed in 1969, but on the 6th September 2015 this picturesque stretch was reopened connecting Scotland’s capital city to the beloved borderlands of Sir Walter Scott. There are ten stations on the Borders Railway: Edinburgh Waverley, Brunstane, Newcraighall, Shawfair, Eskbank, Newtongrange, Gorebridge, Stow, Galashiels, Tweedbank.

The route is 31 miles long and from Edinburgh Waverley Station, it travels in an arc through the eastern suburbs of the city, passing near Portobello to reach Eskbank, Newtongrange and Gorebridge to the south in Midlothian. The track works its way up to the Falahill summit and then winds its way down the Gala Water valley crossing the river over 17 times. Passing through Stow and Galashiels, the line crosses the River Tweed to its terminus at Tweedbank.
