Twizel Bridge - Castle

Late post sorry i should have posted yesterday but we were out quite late as it was such a lovely day. We headed up the A1 to cornhill-on-tweed as we've been wanting to check out a place i pulled up on the internet called 'Twizle Bridge' and castle (above)
Twizel Bridge was used in the nearby Battle of Flodden in 1513 when the english army had to cross the river Till with their artillery while other troops crossed at fords further upstream. The castle pic above is actually a house that was started but never finished as the original castle was destroyed in the time of James iv of scotland. There was plenty of birds to be heard along the river walk but didnt manage to actually see much apart from these chaps above who were hung around just long enough for a quick pic. We had a late lunch at hirsel house tea rooms, which we would recommend if your ever that way the food is pretty good, try the 'stovie with pork and leek sausage and chutney'...very tasty.
On the way home we thought we'd go over to holy island but the tide was in, so we called into budle bay, boulmer and cressy but the tide was in so there was nothing much to see except for white pied wagtail in boulmer (first one ive ever seen) but i wasnt quick enough to get a picture.
Hope the weather is as good next weekend for another trip out.
