"Berwick-upon-Tweed (/ˌbɛrɪk-/; Scots: Sooth Berwick, Scottish Gaelic: Bearaig a Deas) is a town in the county of Northumberland. It is the northernmost town in England, at the mouth of the River Tweed on the east coast, 2 1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) south of the Scottish border (the hamlet of Marshall Meadows is the actual northernmost settlement). Berwick is approximately 56 mi (90 km) east-south east of Edinburgh, 65 mi (105 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne and 345 mi (555 km) north of London.
The 2011 United Kingdom census recorded Berwick's population as 12,043. A civil parish and town council were created in 2008 comprising the communities of Berwick, Spittal and Tweedmouth.
Berwick was founded as an Anglo-Saxon settlement during the time of the Kingdom of Northumbria, which was annexed by England in the 10th century. The area was for more than 400 years central to historic border wars between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, and several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. The last time it changed hands was when Richard of Gloucester retook it for England in 1482. To this day many Berwickers feel a close affinity to Scotland.
Berwick remains a traditional market town and also has some notable architectural features, in particular its medieval town walls, its Georgian Town Hall, its Elizabethan ramparts, and Britain's earliest barracks buildings, which Nicholas Hawksmoor built (1717–21) for the Board of Ordnance." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Salvation Army Citadel: James Souttar, 1893-6. Large 4-storey and attic castellated, crow-stepped multi-gabled Scots Baronial Salvation Army complex. Grey granite ashlar. Comprising hall, flats and shops with dominant 5-stage square-plan turreted tower. Corner turrets, bartizans, string courses, corbelled and crenellated parapet. Segmental arched windows.
This is a large and prominent building, situated in the Castlegate and terminating the Eastwards vista of Union Street. In Scots Baronial style, it is dominated by its oversize bartizaned tower. Using a variety of castellated stylistic devices, it gives an impressive and commanding presence to this area of the city.
James Souttar (1840-1922) was born in London and articled to Mackenzie and Mathews in Aberdeen from 1852-60. He then travelled extensively throughout Europe, living for some time in Sweden. He settled in Aberdeen from 1866 and his output includes various work within the City, including the Carmelite Hotel.
The Mercat Cross was built in 1686 by John Montgomery.
