Places to visit near the Scottish Borders

Those keen to delve into the mysterious past will find a dramatic and often turbulent history has left a trail of castles, abbeys, mansions, and ruins scattered across the region. More mellow pursuits include freshwater and sea fishing from towns and villages including St Abbs, as well as golf. Top class 18-hole courses include Eyemouth, whose fairways unfurl to the sea and Cardrona, affectionately known as the 'Gleneagles of the south'.

Areas worth a mention include in and around the area include Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Isle of Whithorn and the hills of Moorfoot and Lammermuir - the latter an incredible sight come autumn when displays of heather flush deep purple.
