Dist:0.6km north<br/>Shopping trolley in its natural habitat taken from the high Esk Viaduct, that carried the Waverly Line over the deep valley. There is only one arch, unlike the monster bridge over the South Esk at Newbattle. The river is red due to iron (III) salts leached out of old coal mines.
