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.
