The Cheviot Hills are seen looking north west towards the England-Scotland border

The Cheviot Hills are seen looking north west towards the England-Scotland border from Hadrians Wall near Hexham in Northumberland August 24, 2013. Hadrians Wall is a structure built in Roman times, marking the boundary of the Roman province of Britannia and separating it from territory to the north, much of which lies in present-day Scotland. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. 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 breathtaking beauty of the Cheviot Hills, as they stretch towards the England-Scotland border. Taken from Hadrian's Wall near Hexham in Northumberland on August 24,2013, this image showcases not only the natural splendor of the landscape but also its historical significance. Hadrian's Wall, a Roman structure built centuries ago to demarcate Britannia from northern territories including present-day Scotland, stands as a testament to ancient boundaries. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, this area is steeped in history and bears witness to past conflicts through fortifications and battlefields scattered across its terrain. However, beyond these reminders of strife lies a region where people lead lives that bridge both sides of the border. In light of next year's referendum on Scottish independence held on September 18th, 2014, practical concerns arise among those living here about potential implications should there be a formal split between England and Scotland. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that while signs of ancient conflict may scar this land, it is also home to individuals who navigate their daily lives straddling two nations. Toby Melville skillfully captured this momentous scene with his lens for Reuters Images; an evocative portrayal that invites contemplation about borders both physical and political.
