This Walk Is Now Full. An easy walk along forest track to Riccarton Junction which is now a deserted railway village that in its heyday was a thriving community with 118 residents with a school, post office, grocery store and police station. It was only accessible by rail until 1963. The walk then returns along the old Waverley Railway Line to Whitrope Tunnel. Walk Sponsor: Hawick Community Council Transport Sponsor: SEStran
