"The Carter Bar is the point at which the A68 crosses the England–Scotland border and forms a pass located at the top of Redesdale in the Cheviot Hills at an elevation of 418 metres (1,371 ft). The first sizeable Scottish town is Jedburgh approximately 12 miles (19 km) north. Other nearby Scottish towns include Hawick 16 miles (26 km) away and Kelso, 22 miles (35 km) away. On the English side, the first settlement is Byrness, followed by Redesdale, with Otterburn next at the junction of the A68 and A696 then Newcastle upon Tyne 45 miles (72 km) away. The A696 and A68 combine to form one of the main routes (and a popular scenic tourist route) between Newcastle upon Tyne and the Scottish capital, Edinburgh."
