A train is reflected in the River Tweed as it crosses the Royal Border Bridge at dusk

A train is reflected in the River Tweed as it crosses the Royal Border Bridge at dusk, in Berwick-Upon-Tweed in Northumberland August 22, 2013. The Royal Border Bridge opened in the mid 19th century, completing a rail link from London to Edinburgh. It is located in Berwick Upon Tweed, Englands northernmost town, which has passed between English and Scottish control over a dozen times. Signs of ancient conflict - from centuries-old fortifications to historic battlefields - score the landscape around the English-Scottish border. But many living in the region lead lives straddling both sides, and express practical concerns about the possibility of a more formal split between the two nations in the event of a yes vote in next years referendum on Scottish independence, which will be held on September 18, 2014.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the River Tweed as a train glides across the iconic Royal Border Bridge at dusk. The bridge, a testament to engineering brilliance, was built in the 19th century and marked the completion of a vital rail link between London and Edinburgh. Located in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, England's northernmost town with a tumultuous history of changing hands between English and Scottish control, this image symbolizes more than just stunning scenery. The landscape surrounding the English-Scottish border is etched with remnants of ancient conflict - from age-old fortifications to historic battlefields. However, it also tells tales of resilience and unity as many people living in this region straddle both sides, embracing their dual heritage. As Scotland prepares for its referendum on independence scheduled for September 18,2014, practical concerns arise among those who call this unique place home. Amidst breathtaking landscapes that bear witness to centuries-long struggles for power lies an underlying anxiety about what a formal split between these two nations could mean for their intertwined lives. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that beyond political debates lie real communities whose lives are intricately connected by geography and shared histories. Toby Melville skillfully captures not only an exquisite moment but also invites us to ponder upon deeper questions about identity, belongingness, and the delicate balance between autonomy and unity.
