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.
