History and Romance in the Borders
The city of Edinburgh may be the jewel in Scotland’s crown, but just a short
drive south is a glorious landscape that many people have yet to discover.
This circular route takes in coastal towns and villages standing on rugged
cliffs by inviting golden sands, as seabirds screech and wheel overhead.
It then sweeps inland to the Borders, where mighty rivers like the Tweed
flow past bustling towns and ancient abbeys, and where grand historic
houses sit in tranquil countryside. The route finally heads north to its
last stop at Rosslyn Chapel, famous for its extraordinary – and
mysterious – carvings.
