Drummond Scottish Tours Joins Visit Northumberland - A New Partnership in Storytelling & Adventure
Updated: Oct 6
We’re delighted to announce a new chapter for Drummond Scottish Tours as we join forces with Visit Northumberland to celebrate the magic, history and beauty of this remarkable region, a place that begins just over the border from our home in the Scottish Borders.
Ancient History & Iconic Landmarks
From the Roman might of Hadrian’s Wall and the excavated treasures of Vindolanda, to the story‑soaked shores of Holy Island and Lindisfarne, the coastal castles of Bamburgh and Alnwick, and even England’s northernmost town, Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Northumberland has witnessed centuries of drama and change.
These landscapes are woven with stories of emperors, monks, raiders and kings, a place where Britain’s early history still feels close enough to touch.
Film Locations & Famous Landscapes
Movie lovers will recognise its sweeping scenery, albeit missing one very famous tree, now beginning to take root again, from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And of course, the magical silhouette of Alnwick Castle, known to millions as Hogwarts, continues to enchant visitors from around the world.
Timeless Towns & Coastal Beauty
Beyond its iconic landmarks, Northumberland offers quiet charm in abundance. Wander through charming market towns with centuries‑old streets, enjoy cosy cafés, or breathe in the fresh sea air along beaches where castle silhouettes rise from the horizon. In many places, it feels as though time has slowed down entirely.
A Landscape Shaped by Centuries
This is a land shaped by conquerors, kings, monks and marauders. Every mile reveals another chapter of Britain’s dramatic story, still unfolding to this day.
Northumberland: Just Over the Border, Yet a World of Its Own
Next to our home in Kelso, our neighbouring region offers different history, scenery and culture. It’s the perfect extension to a Borders adventure, whether you’re seeking coastal drama, ancient sites, or peaceful countryside escapes.
Our tours often weave Scotland and Northumberland together, creating journeys that cross borders but stay rooted in story. It’s a combination our guests love: two nations, one seamless landscape of heritage and beauty.
