Carter Bar

Carter Bar

The Carter Bar is the point at which the A68 crosses the England-Scotland border. It is located in Redesdale, 12 miles from Jedburgh, 16 miles from Hawick and 45 miles from Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

In 1575 Carter Bar was the scene of the Redeswire Fray, one of the last large-scale battles between the English and the Scots.

Carter Bar was the location of Truce days, that were held between the Lord Wardens of the Marches of both countries to dispense cross border justice in the Late Medieval and Early Modern periods. Truce days were also held at Carlisle and Berwick upon Tweed.
