Yep that certainly brings it back !

I was up there as freelance press not long after the crash and again the following day. I did not shoot a single frame.
It seemed inappropriate.

I did however visit the site after the recovery and photographed the wreath left by relatives. Still have it somewhere.

You are right about the pub The Lauderdale, I think there is a Black Bull also but cannot recall the name of the other.

When you visit the site do not feel you need to ask for permission. We have a right to roam policy in Scotland and we guard it carefully. Just be careful with the electric scare-fence on the stone wall which separates the field with the ancient tower and the crash field. I was not and got a jolt on my last visit !!

As with most Scottish Border towns Lauder is steeped in History.

Have a look :- Lauder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
