The Anglo - Scottish Border, on the A68, Carter Bar, Northumberland / Scottish Borders, UK. This must be the most scenic border crossing between the two countries, with far reaching views to the north and a steady climb from both sides up to the border at 418 metres above sea level. There is a second stone facing the opposite direction across the road with 'Scotland' written on it.

Can you see where the Irish Border runs through this photo? Looking north towards Slieve Gullion (573 metres a.s.l.), the crowning glory of South Armagh, from Dungooly, Co. Louth.
This bridge is commonly used by Norwegians to travel over the border to Sweden to buy cheap booze and food
and not to mention all the cheap sweets...
I'm standing on the old bridge, taking this picture
We can pay in Norwegian currency if we want and we speak our own language and understand the other one perfectly.
We tend to go a bit bananas when we are "over there" 😁 And you shouldn't think that we are used to alcohol..
We have strict rules about how much (or how little) we are allowed to buy of meat and alcohol.
If we bend the rules we can log into one app and say how much we're bringing over the border and pay by the app, or you can "smuggle" it over.
There is seldom anyone checking you, you just pass the border and maybe seeing a guy or two in uniforms.
There is even ways to find out if the customs are stopping cars and then you'll wait until they are done.
We are the sweetest neighbor of them all 😁
The 10.25 Aberdeen - King's Cross (The Aberdonian) approaches the border with England at Marshall Meadows as a storm recedes out to the North Sea. This was one of many that swept through the area this day and of course the one train I had walked all the way out here for, 'The Celtic Deltic' tour with 55 002, was the only train I didn't get in sun!!!!
When faced with a bridge like this, and when there was no traffic around, I could not resist the temptation to jump out of the car and grab a photo from the rear of the mighty E-type Jag about to head under it.
Although this looks like a section of a racetrack, (or even a video game) it is actually taken on the Sturt Highway near the state border between South Australia and Victoria. It is mainly a fruit fly checkpoint for people entering the Riverland area from Victoria. It is in Yamba, near Renmark / Paringa in South Australia. The bridge / arch was originally donated by Dunlop back when the Formula One Grand Prix race first started in Adelaide from 1985 to 1995. They continued to sponsor the upkeep of the bridge until 2000. I have read that there is some argument whether or not to keep it due to nobody wanting to pay the estimated $75,000 repair and upgrade costs.

Earlier I described how the border impacted the railway Lipusz - Bytów. It's now time to show something from the border station itself.
Róg used to be the border station, where the line from Lipusz terminated. Its German name, which it had carried for the first 40 or so years of its existance, was Sonnenwalde (Kreis Bütow). The Polish name is way more compact and just means 'horn', or 'corner'.
It certainly is a nice corner in Kashubia. Surrounded by fields which are left after the local forests had been destroyed in 2017.
Currently it is very peaceful, as barely any trains pass throgh here. The station buildings have of course been repurposed and now live on as normal housing with gardens just like the one on the picture right on the trackside. The SM42-2622 right near it is passing the eastern side of the ex-border station as it's heading to Lipusz as a light engine for the second part of a loaded cement train for PREFABET in Osława-Dąbrowa. It is so peaceful here that you would never think that this once used to be a relatively important line with a very stormy history.

Apologies - I had the wrong year set on the camera. It was taken in 2020. Thanks to Archy SFO for pointing that out!
Thanks a lot for your time, your likes and your comments.
