Exploring the Scottish Borders
Most people who travel to Scotland don't typically head south of Edinburgh into the Scottish Borders.

There are a lot of fabulous places to visit in this part of Scotland — pastoral landscapes with easy walks, charming towns and villages, beautiful rivers and stunning abbeys and stately homes.
