COLDSTREAM BRIDGE, FROM UP-STREAM. Coldstream Bridge, linking Coldstream, Scottish Borders with Cornhill-on-Tweed, Northumberland, is an 18th century Grade II* listed bridge between England and Scotland, across the River Tweed. A plaque on the bridge commemorates the 1787 visit of the poet Robert Burns to the Coldstream. Of historical note is the toll house on the Scottish side of the bridge, which became infamous for the runaway marriages that took place there, as at Gretna Green. It ceased to be a toll bridge in 1826. UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the timeless beauty of Coldstream Bridge, an 18th-century marvel that connects the Scottish town of Coldstream with Cornhill-on-Tweed in Northumberland. As a Grade II* listed bridge, it holds immense historical significance as a symbol of unity between England and Scotland. The image showcases the enchanting River Tweed flowing beneath this architectural gem, while the plaque on the bridge serves as a poignant reminder of poet Robert Burns' visit to Coldstream in 1787. The toll house on the Scottish side adds another layer to its intriguing past, once notorious for clandestine runaway marriages akin to Gretna Green. With its engraved details and illustrative technique reminiscent of 19th-century engravings, this vintage-style print transports us back in time.
