Crook
View south towards Tweedsmuir along the trackbed of the Talla Railway by the Crook Inn. Remains of the locomotive servicing facilities still stand a century after the line was lifted, although there is no trace of the wooden platform built here in 1899 by contractor John Best. The pillar on the skyline marks the route of the 35 mile long subterranean <I>Talla Aqueduct</I>, constructed between 1895 and 1905, which continues to supply millions of gallons of water each day to the City of Edinburgh.
