<p>Melrose station opened in 1849 but closed in 1964. However the main station and ‘up platform’ have been preserved along with original advertising boards for ‘Capstan Cigarettes’, ‘Melrose’s Teas’, ‘Lyons’ Tea’, ‘Lipton’s Tea’, ‘Cock’s Sole Leather’, ‘Railway Passenger Assurance’ and ‘Rodine Rapid Rat Remover’</p>

<p>Our new house has a burn (Scottish for stream) running through it and we own the part of it that flows through our garden. Tracing the burn on our Ordinance Survey (OS) map I could see that there was a waterfall marked further upstream so I had an explore with my camera and a tripod to see if I could photograph it.<br />
<br />
It's moderately difficult to reach because it is all rough and fairly flooded ground. At one point I sank 3/4 of the way up my wellington boot in some very soft ground. The burn flows through a reasonably steep sided valley which means you have to cross the burn periodically to get the easiest route without having to scale the steep valley sides.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, I was delighted to discover a series of 3 small waterfalls and captured some images of them.<br />
<br />
I discovered when I got back that, according to Google Maps there is supposed to be a couple of small ponds up here as well although these aren't on the OS map, so I'll have to go in search of these next time.<br />

<p>&quot;L’abbaye de Melrose, située à Melrose en Écosse a été fondée en 1136 par des moines cisterciens venus de l'abbaye de Clairvaux (France) à la demande du roi David Ier, roi d’Écosse. L’abbaye devient alors le siège de l’ordre cistercien en Écosse.<br />
En 1385, l’abbaye est incendié par les troupes de Richard II d’Angleterre. L’abbaye est reconstruite tout au long du siècle suivant. En 1544, alors que les armées anglaises dévastent l’Écosse pour faire pression sur les écossais afin de permettre le mariage en Marie Stuart et le fils de Henri VIII, l’abbaye est de nouveau sérieusement endommagée. Elle ne sera jamais complètement restaurée. Cette période mènera l’abbaye à son déclin. L’abbaye résiste à un dernier assaut, pendant la guerre civile anglaise, quand Oliver Cromwell bombarde l’abbaye. Des marques sont toujours visibles dans les murs de l’édifice.&quot; (Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Most of this building is C17th - C18th, but there is evidence of an earlier medieval structure, possibly a tower, almost certainly connected with the nearby abbey, hence its name. It's currently the home of the Tourist Information.</p>
