The Scottish Borders span from the rolling hills and moorland to the west, through gentle valleys to the rich agricultural plains of the east. Then on to the rocky Berwickshire coastline with its secluded coves and picture postcard fishing villages.
Whether you explore by car, on bike or on foot, you will discover quaint towns and picturesque villages, fairytale castles, majestic abbeys and plush stately homes. There are also many museums, most of which illustrate the exciting but often gruesome history of this area. That history is commemorated in the Common Ridings and other local festivals, creating a colourful display of local culture much enjoyed by visitors and native Borderers alike.
It should also be recognised that this area so rich with hills and moorland, valleys and rivers, is also perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. The area is a paradise for hill walkers, hikers, trekkers and cyclists, while on the River Tweed and its many tributaries, you'll find some of the best fishing in Scotland. The Scottish Borders are also home to the game of Rugby with it's passion and rivalry which rises as the Rugby Sevens tournament gets under way in the spring.
As the Borders is a region famed for its textiles, a major attraction for many is to hunt for beautiful tweeds , tartans and the highest quality knitwear direct from the local mills and shops. You will be surprised how many clans have their own tartans, this unique artistic culture stems back to Scottish warriors who fought on the Scottish borders.
