The Scottish Borders


Click here for an interactive map of our guided tours and their locations.

 


To the South of Scotland lie the beautiful Scottish Borders, home to many ruins of dramatic castles, four beautiful medieval Abbeys and Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott, Scotland's most famous novelist.


This is the land of gentle sloping hills, of burbling streams and of ballad and folklore. Hear tales of King Arthur and his Knights ­ reputed to be living in the Eildon Hills and of Thomas the Rhymer, the Prophet Poet, who spent six years in the Fairy Kingdom.


The Borders was traditionally the home of Scottish knitwear and you can visit the Lochcarron Cashmere Centre, at Galashiels, where you can also trace your Scottish ancestry.
