Summary edit

Description
English: Stepping stones at Leaderfoot These five stepping stones on the southern approach to Drygrange Old Bridge were sculpted by Garry Fay and each is inscribed by a verse, the ballad of Leaderfoot, by Valerie Gillies. The verse is as follows:

STONE 1

the river runs from west to east roads south to north from bank to bank three bridges span three centuries worth

STONE 2

before these the Fly-boat brae led down to its ferry near the ghost-line of the Roman way on the outward journey

STONE 3

salmon sandstone pillars rise above Leaderfoot the meeting of two singing streams by leafy Ravenswood

STONE 4

builders pay attention to the piers so the arch can spring taking you far from what you see to what you're not yet seeing

STONE 5

for when the Tweed is running high from wintry moor and moss Old Drygrange Bridge is standing here

to carry you across
