The Scottish Borders is a short hop from Edinburgh and is a great and often overlooked part of the country. The borderland region with England offers rolling scenery, country vibes and outdoor adventure. Grand stately mansion houses, including the oldest inhabited house in Scotland await to be explored. Take the bike and the kids to Glentress and catch a game of ‘Rugby Sevens’ in historic Melrose.
