Scotland Shorts - 9 Things To Do: Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders is a picturesque corner of Scotland that is full to the brim with things to see and do. From the stunning panoramic views, and ancient attractions, to learning about the region’s history and exploring the many foodie delights – the Scottish Borders is bursting with fun-filled days out.
In Kelso, discover Scotland’s largest inhabited castle – Floors Castle – which has been welcoming visitors and leading tours for over 40 years, all while being a family home. Explore the superb collection of fine art, porcelain, tapestries, grand rooms, and gorgeous views over the River Tweed.
In Melrose, take in the views of the magnificent red sandstone Leaderfoot Viaduct, which opened in 1865, as it crosses the River Tweed. Or head west to Melrose Abbey to see for yourself the stunning ruin that is decorated by unusual sculptures, including hobgoblins, cooks with ladles and a bagpipe playing pig. Venture east to Scott’s View to admire the picturesque surroundings of the River Tweed and Eildon Hills, which boasts a very volcanic-like landscape. Uncover the life and works of Sir Walter Scott in Abbotsford House with quiet woodlands to explore, fine dining opportunities, as well as a visitor centre to learn more and gift shop.
In the east, Eyemouth Golf Club is a superb course that boasts an 18-hole spread over the rugged coastline of Berwickshire. While here, make sure you pay a visit to St Abb’s Head National Nature Reserve which is a glorious haven for birdwatchers, nature lovers and walkers alike.
Why not explore the outdoors on two wheels at one of the 7Stanes mountain biking centres? Whizz through the peaceful woodlands, put your biking skills to the test, and explore the various routes that cater for all abilities and levels. Choose from Newcastleton near the border, Glentress or Innerleithen, both near Peebles, for hours of fun for the whole family. Also in Innerleithen, Traquair House Brewery offers another memorable day out. Explore the grounds and woodlands, see inside the chapel and the house itself, and take up one of the children’s activities for extra fun.

Scotland Shorts - The Forests of South Scotland
The south of Scotland is a picturesque corner of the country with miles of rolling hills, swooping valleys, sandy beaches, acres of forests and green spaces, as well as many historic attractions to explore.
Less than an hour from Edinburgh, Tweed Valley is the perfect place to get away from the bustling city life and out into nature. If you’re a fan of fishing, the River Tweed is a popular location for catching salmon. Or if you’re a keen walker, take on the challenge of the Southern Upland Way, whilst cyclists can find out why the Tour of Britain started its Scottish leg in the town of Peebles.
In the south of Scotland there are eight 7Stanes Mountain Biking Centres; Glentrool, Glentress, Dalbeattie, Ae, Mabie, Kirroughtree, Newcastleton and Innerleithen, which are spread out across Dumfries & Galloway and the Scottish Borders. It’s a great place for mountain biking enthusiasts with hundreds of trails and routes that accommodate for the complete beginner as well as the experienced riders. Galloway Forest Park is Britain’s largest forest park and is home to dramatic ancient woodland, magnificent scenery, and an astonishing variety of local wildlife. Whether you want to walk, cycle, fish or just relax in the tearooms, there will be something for everyone.
There are many accessible stargazing spots located throughout the Scottish mainland and islands, but you can’t do much better than Galloway Forest Park for prime stargazing conditions. Britain’s First Dark Sky Park - the clarity here will positively dazzle you. Spanning 75,000 hectares, very few people live within the park which means it enjoys some of the most pitch-black skies in Europe. See an astounding 7,000 stars and planets including the lustrous bow of light that is the Milky Way with just your naked eye, and on each visit, witness as the constellations slowly shift with the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
