The Beautiful Borders

It's hard to believe that somewhere so beautiful was once a battleground.

Raids. Sieges. Battles. The Scottish Borders were once so different to how we know them today. Now, there's not even a single checkpoint or guard. The peace and beauty of this region are almost impossible to comprehend when you know its history. When you know what happened underfoot.

Today, the Scottish Borders are graceful. Grand buildings delicately decorate expansive valleys of summer greens, autumn oranges, icy greys.

On our tours of the Scottish Borders, you venture to the ancient sites of Hadrian’s Wall and Alnwick Castle. You explore graceful towns with beautiful ruins like Melrose Abbey, founded by the Cistercians in the 12th century.

Explore one of the most historically important parts of Britain and discover the beautiful Borders on our small group tours.
