Explore the Scottish Borders

Explore the many nearby castles such as Kelso, Floors, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne to name but a few. Take a visit to the market town of Berwick upon Tweed with is 3 fantastic bridges and Elizabethan Walls.
Through the centre, tracing a silvery course from the hills to the sea, runs the River Tweed, fed by its many tributaries and providing some of the best fishing in Scotland.
