Specially selected passengers have taken a trip on the Borders to Edinburgh railway a day ahead of the opening of the new Scottish Borders rail line to the general public.
The owners of a Golden Ticket traveled on three trains leaving Tweedbank, Galashiels and Stow, each carrying 160 passengers.
Others making the trip were nominated by the public or won competitions.
The 30 miles of new track between Tweedbank in the Borders and Edinburgh opens to the public on Sunday.

The Barrow Transport Group's preserved open top Alexander PS bodied Volvo B10M R 928 XVM started life as a standard closed top vehicle in the Stagecoach Manchester fleet, numbered 928. It was later renumbered 20928 when the Stagecoach fleet was numbered into a single nationwide series, later being transferred to Stagecoach In Yorkshire, then to Stagecoach In Devon. After being retired by Stagecoach it passed to Quantock Motor Services who had it converted to part open top for use in the Minehead area, It was later acquired by the West Coast Motors Group where it carried registration M 800 WCM and numbered 19702, being used on City Sightseeing tour work with West Coast Motors and Borders Buses.
Since being acquired by the Barrow Transport Group this bus has received a livery similar to that used by Quantock and is pictured at the Mazuma Stadium in Morecambe whilst taking part in a heritage running day.
With Borders back in the local news, thought would post these shots I took last week.

I got bored doing lines with the walking foot, so switched to FMQ for the outer half of the border.
more details on this quilt here
A claw-shaped peninsula of land bordered by the Jökulfirðir fjords to the south and the Greenland Sea to the north, and attached to the rest of the West Fjords by a narrow neck of land just 6km wide, Hornstrandir represents Iceland’s very last corner of inhospitable terrain where habitation was at least attempted – the last settlements here were abandoned in the 1950s due to the harsh climate – and its coastline is the most magnificent in the country.
The rugged cliffs, precipitous mountainsides and sandy bays backed by meadows of wildflowers make up this official nature reserve on the very edge of the Arctic Circle, and hiking here is an exhilarating experience; it’s quite common to walk for an entire day without seeing another person. The highlight of any trip to Hornstrandir is a visit to the majestic Hornbjarg cliff (533m) at the eastern end of Hornvík bay and the highest point on the peninsula. The cliff is home to one of the country’s greatest bird colonies and its many ledges are stuffed full with fulmars, guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins and razorbills.
Elsewhere, where farmed sheep once devoured everything edible, there is now wild, lush vegetation of unexpected beauty and the wildlife is free to roam – the Arctic fox makes regular appearances – while offshore, seals and whales can be spotted.
Life for settlers on Hornstrandir was always extreme. For starters, the summer is appreciably shorter than elsewhere in the West Fjords and, bar a geothermal spring in remote Reykjafjörður, there’s no natural hot water source, no waterfall to generate electricity, no natural harbour, and no road or airstrip. In fact, the fertile valleys and inlets throughout this uninhabited wilderness are littered with traces of derelict buildings where hardy farmers and fishermen once attempted to battle against the inhospitable climate.
The peninsula’s two main settlements, Hesteyri and Aðalvík, are now almost completely deserted, their abandonment marking the end of yet another Icelandic community.

After five years, I returned to the isolated peninsula of Hornstrandir to pursue another hiking adventure, aiming to visit different places and areas than last time and to wander off-the-beaten path leaving marked trails behind.
This time, the itinerary was as follows: Hesteyri -> Aðalvík (Sæból) -> Kjaransvík via Kjaransvíkurskarð pass -> Hornvík via Hlöðuvík and Atlaskarð pass -> Lónafjörður (Miðkjós & Sópandi) via Kýrskarð pass -> Barðsvík -> Hornbjarg cliffs via Hornbjargsviti lighthouse.
During the fourth day on the trail, we hiked from Hornvík to the remote Lónafjörður fjord.
I could have been here for ages, the colours - and different combinations of colours were amazing. I need to go back with my tripod as my hand-held pics were a bit shaky and they are not all in exactly the same place. Need video really to do it justice. Decided to put the 4 best photos together and add a drop shadow. Quite pleased with the result.
