Hotels Scottish Borders Scotland |
Covering about eighteen hundred square miles, the Scottish Borders stretches from the rolling hills and moorland in the west, through gentler valleys to the high agricultural plains of the east, and on to the rocky Berwickshire coastline with its secluded coves and picturesque fishing villages.
Whatever the season, the Scottish Borders is awake and alive with attractions all year round. Discover a land with a turbulent and romantic history, punctuated by imposing castles, elegant abbeys, stately mansions and dramatic ruins.

Where the Borders two main rivers, the Tweed and the Teviot, meet you'll find the picturesque country town of Kelso. The Kelso Town Trail is a great way to learn about all the local buildings of architectural and historical interest, all already mapped out for you.
Melrose, birthplace of the game of rugby sevens and still very much a strong rugby playing town, lies in the tweed Valley at the foot of the distinctive triple peaks of the Eildon hills. Melrose's ruined 12th century abbey, at one time probably the richest in Scotland, is the burial place of the casket believed to contain the heart of Robert the Bruce.
Peebles offers plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors with a variety of leisure activities. Golf, fishing, mountain biking and walking are popular pursuits, with the Forests of Tweeddale and the challenging Southern Upland Way easily accessible.
Borders chefs know just how to make the most of the game, fish, cheese, beef, lamb, fruit and vegetables that abound on their doorstep.
