The following photo appeared in a Scotsman supplement. The caption read "Unidentified site in Berwickshire,c.1900)
I don't know if it is pre or post WW1.
Any idea?

This is Tweedmouth at Berwick is it not?
It was unveiled @ 1920

It looks like Tweedmouth. That means it's actually in Northumberland and not Berwickshire.

Cheers

Well done. I knew the "Sherlocks" on this website would come up with an answer. I will advise RCHAMS.
ps surprised you didn't identify the individuals sitting on the logs!!

For anyone wanting the names on the Tweedmouth War Memorial, see:
http://ndfhs.org.uk/OI/misc/NBL/NHM/WMNHMTWM.htm

According to the Berwick Advertiser, the memorial was given listed building atatus in time for the 2009 Armistice Day.
