The Polton branch left the Peebles line only a half mile or so after that line left the Waverley route at Hardengreen. Esk Valley Junction is not to be confused with Glenesk junction, the other side of Hardengreen, though the name means the same. Here's a relic of some ancient signalling hardware which has somehow managed to survive decades of use of the trackbed as a walkway.
