Step into the Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders is bursting with picturesque valleys, landscapes and rolling hills that will transport you back in time to a world full of history and heritage.
Uncover the historic heartland of the Scottish Borders through atmospheric Abbeys, grand stately homes and historic castles. Explore Jedburgh, Kelso, Dryburgh and Melrose Abbeys for a lesson on the region’s turbulent past, or join in with traditions at the popular Common Ridings in Kelso, Hawick and Selkirk.
Venture to the adrenaline-filled outdoors for mountain biking at 7stanes in Glentress & Innerleithen and Newcastleton, try your luck fishing in the River Tweed, or enjoy sailing, fishing and walking at St Mary’s Loch.
Taste some of the area’s local produce at restaurants, such as Hergés on the Loch, Firebrick Brasserie, and Seasons! Or explore the region’s historic breweries and try a beer at Born in the Borders, Tempest Brewery, Traquair Brewery, or Broughton Ales.
Take a trip on one of Scotland’s Great Scenic Railway Journeys – the Borders Railway – to witness some of the Borders’ most picturesque sites. Onward bus travel from Galashiels allows you to explore more of the Scottish Borders, giving you the perfect view of the passing countryside.
