Checkpoint Charlie

Checkpoint Charlie

Thanks for your even handed coverage of the Scottish referendum issues.

I enclose a box brownie picture of the English-Scottish border taken 60 years ago. My brother and I cycled from near Hawick where my granny lived to our home at Scotby, near Carlisle.

Do we really want a customs and border guarded crossing between our two countries? I am half Scottish, was educated north of the border and worked for a time for the Scottish Office. Yet like thousands of others don’t get to vote. If I did it would definitely be NO! Let’s stick together for the next 300 years
