Welcome to Scottish Borders ...
Gateway to Scotland, the Scottish Borders offers beautiful scenery and a wealth of things to see and do.
This border county has been hotly contested for centuries, with land and settlements changing hands from Scotland to England and back again. The result is a fascinating and often bloody past, which can be discovered through visiting the historic buildings and monuments that scatter the area. These include Roxburghe and Thirlestane castles, ruined abbeys and the site of the battle of Flodden in 1513 where the Scottish army was famously defeated.
Nowadays this is a peaceful land of rolling hills and moor, including the beautiful Cheviots and Lammermuirs, which can be enjoyed by walkers, horse riders, cyclists and mountain bikers.
The winding River Tweed is one of the most famous salmon fishing rivers in the world, and forms part of the boundary between England and Scotland in its final decent into the sea.
The county is also known for its textiles, particularly wool and cashmere, with famous tweeds and tartans still produced in the area.
