BBC News reports
First Minister Alex Salmond has announced that trains will start to run on the Borders to Edinburgh railway from 6 September 2015.

Work is ongoing on the multi-million pound project to lay 30 miles of new track and build seven new stations.

Mr Salmond also announced a feasibility study to look at ways to use the railway to boost tourism in the area.

Among the possibilities is a permanent exhibit of the Great Tapestry of Scotland at Tweedbank Station.

One of the panels on The Great Tapestry depicts the birth of International rugby in 1871with Glasgow Accies along with West of Scotland depicted
Buchanan of Royal High scored the first try ever recorded in international rugby but sadly in accordance with the scoring system of the day he got no points so the honour of scoring the first ever points in the history of international rugby fell to Wiilie Cross of Glasgow Accies who converted the "try" at goal
