Notes:
Coldstream (Scottish Gaelic: An t-Alltan Fuar) is a burgh in the Scottish Borders. It lies on the north bank of the River Tweed in Berwickshire, while Northumberland in England lies to the south bank. The town is well known as the home of the Coldstream Guards British Army regiment, and is also noted as the location where Edward I of England invaded Scotland in 1296.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Coldstream was a popular centre for runaway marriages, in a similar vein to Gretna Green, as it lay on a major road (now the A697). Notable buildings in the town include the toll house where marriages were conducted, and The Hirsel, which is the family seat of the Earls of Home.
An imposing monument to Charles Marjoribanks, MP for Berwickshire, stands at the east end of the town, close to the Coldstream Bridge.
Henderson Park has good views of the river and "Nun's Walk", the closest one can get to the water.
