Title - The River Tweed - See Scotland By Rail.
Artist - Robert Norman Hepple (1908-1994).
Description - The Borders country, with the River Tweed gently winding through it, is a generally tranquil area of rolling hills, with a scattering of historic castles and abbeys. The specific view here is un-named so may be a general mixture of the essence of the area with the sheep on the hillside above the river, pastures and woods as far as the eye can see.
