<div id="ygrps-yiv-1232083608">Interesting.  Looking at the map (multimap.com), it appears the <br/>
England-Scotland border follows the river Tweed and veers north just <br/>
before reaching Berwick.  The urbanization stradles both sides of the <br/>
river, and one of the connecting bridges is called the &quot;Royal Border <br/>
Bridge&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
It would seem logical for the border to follow the river out to the <br/>
North Sea, but is the municipality of Berwick contained to the north <br/>
side of the river?  Where was the historical border?<br/>
<br/>
This would make a difference in a few tax issues I imagine.<br/>
