Wilton Park in Hawick and a New Cafe

After our long cold walk last week we headed to Wilton Park in Hawick today for a walk through the park and along the Teviot. The idea was to visit the new cafe for a coffee at the end of our walk but it was the official opening of it and the new bridge called the McLaren Bridge after the famous Bill McLaren
This is Martin's Bridge over the Teviot at the south end of the town
The Slitrig from the bridge at the end of Hawick High Street
Tom with the statue of James Wilson the founder of The Economist magazine. Tom was actually visiting the Border Brides shop just in case he ever decides to get married. He tells made he is still looking. 
Another pedestrian bridge over the river Teviot. Hawick has as many bridges as Langholm has and maybe even slightly more as I counted 14 on a map.
The new cafe which was officially opened today
Wilton Museum in the centre of the park and well worth a visit.

The new cafe eh? That was the reason for the walk perhaps.
