Berwickshire Railway, a railway chiefly in Berwickshire and partly in Roxburghshire. Starting from a junction at Dunse with the Reston and Dunse branch of the North British, it goes south-westward, through Berwickshire, past Greenlaw and Gordon, to Earlston; thence proceeds southward into junction with the Hawick line of the North British at Newton St Boswells. It is 20½ miles long; was authorised in 1 862, on a capital of £100,000 in £10 shares, and £33,300 on loan; was opened from Dunes to Earlston in Nov. 1863, and from Earlston to Newton St Boswells in Oct. 1865; and in 1876 was vested in the North British.
