Whitrope Tunnel
Located approximately 12 miles south of Hawick, between Shankend and Riccarton Junction, is the 1,208 yard Whitrope Tunnel, the south portal of which is seen here on 10 July 2009. The tunnel, noted as Scotland's fourth longest, is currently a listed structure (Category B). The rails in the photograph represent the northern extent of the relaying undertaken by the Waverley Route Heritage Association, whose volunteers have carried out considerable work associated with the tunnel and the Whitrope site in general. The WRHA centre and car park is located alongside the B6399 road just to the south of this point. See image 32810
