The Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders has a unique and rich history, unlike any other region in Scotland. Step into the land where Scotland meets England, where ancient rivalries gave way to enduring stories and heartfelt hospitality that remain alive to this day.

We are experts in this area of Scotland and proud to call this place home, living and breathing this part of the world. We're also delighted to be featured as one of the 'Top Tour Guides' in the South of Scotland's 'Scotland Starts Here' online guide for the South of Scotland.

 

Discover a region steeped in myth and legend, literature and art. Explore the beautiful and awe-inspiring towns villages, castles and abbeys which inspired Sir Walter Scott himself to write about in his famous novels.
