With England to the south and Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, to the north the Scottish Borders is a popular tourist area for those on both sides of the Border. With fantastic scenery and steeped in both historical and modern attractions there is something for everyone. Fascinating abbeys like Jedburgh and Melrose will satisfy those with a cultural appetite - how about visiting Melrose Abbey believed to hold the heart of Robert the Bruce or Sir Walter Scot's resting place in Dryburgh Abbey?
The rolling countryside of the lowlands has numerous stately homes and castles. Traquair house is magnificent and steeped in history. Others will be delighted by the many spectacular gardens like Dawyck Botanic Gardens at Stobo with its rare and exotic plants. Stay in Stobo and visit Stobo Castle Health Spa for that ultimate relaxation experience which couldn't be more relaxing than in the Cashmere Suite.
Famous for salmon fishing, the River Tweed meanders through the centre of the Borders to the Berwickshire coastline, 21 golf courses and the best dedicated mountain bike centre in Britain at Glentress near Peebles will be sure to interest the sport enthusiasts. Local festivals will entertain children and adults alike following century old traditions or festivals run throughout the year for music, art and food and drink.
