This view looks west at the approximate site of Wallace Nick station. This was where the former alignment of the A698 crossed the railway. The former railway trackbed is now a footpath between Kelso and Roxburgh.
Wallace Nick was the temporary terminus of the North British's Kelso branch between 1850 and 1851, when the line extended east through Kelso station to meet the North Eastern Railway at Sprouston Junction. Wallace Nick (or Wallacenick) is a farm just to the north of the station. Kelso is often thought of as the NBR/NER boundary, but no, it was further east.
