The Scottish Borders is the leading short break destination in Scotland.
The scenic route on the A68 from England goes through the Northumbria hills over the border, through Jedburgh and on to Edinburgh.
Alternatively, take the coastal route from England northwards on the A1 through Berwick-on-Tweed to cross the border into Scotland.
 Melrose Abbey (home to the heart of Robert the Bruce) |
In addition to historic abbey towns of Jedburgh, Melrose and Kelso, there are many other picturesque Border towns to visit including Duns, Hawick, Lauder, Selkirk and Peebles. The countryside is special here too - from the rolling hills (the Cheviots, Lammermuirs, Moorfoots and Pentlands) to the famous River Tweed. One of the most romantic spots is Scott's View from Bemersyde overlooking the River Tweed and Eildon Hills (made famous by Sir Walter Scott whose home Abbotsford is a marvellous place to visit, as is his last resting place in the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey). There's lots more history to explore from the eeries ruins of Hermitage Castle and medieval Neidpath Castle, to fairytale Floors Castle and Thirlestane. Not to mention Traquair which is said to be the oldest inhabited house in Scotland. There are plenty of opportunities for walking (including the Southern Upland Way and St Cuthbert's Way), cycling, horse riding, fishing, golf, etc. |
