Carter Bar, located in the scenic Cheviot Hills of the Scottish Borders, serves as a notable point of interest where the A68 crosses the England-Scotland border at an altitude of 418 meters. This historic site offers breathtaking views and a rich history, including its role in the Raid of the Redeswire in 1575, one of the last significant battles between the English and Scots.

Visitors to Carter Bar can enjoy picturesque landscapes, take memorable photographs at the border marker stones, and experience the sounds of traditional bagpipes from local musicians. The area is not only a popular stop for tourists but also a testament to centuries of historical conflict and cultural exchange between the two nations.
