Eshiels Tunnel

Bikers on the A72 a mile east of Peebles town centre passing the modified north portal of Eshiels Tunnel on the former Peebles Railway. The 66 yard long tunnel was sealed following closure of the rail route in 1962 but reopened in early 2010 as part of a walkway. Photograph taken on 1 August 2010 looking south east in the general direction of Galashiels. For a view of the south portal see image 30347.
