Cottages in the Scottish Borders

Spanning an impressive 1800 square miles, the Scottish Borders stretch from Edinburgh and The Lothians in the north to Dumfries and Galloway in the west, and down to Northumberland in the south. With its breathtaking Berwickshire coastline in the east, rolling hills, and open countryside, it's easy to see why this enchanting land captivated Sir Walter Scott. Here, adventure awaits at every turn. Whether you're exploring two renowned 7stanes mountain biking centres or indulging in off-road quad biking, archery, surfing, treetop adventures—and even walking—it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Fishing on both the River Tweed and Teviot promises tranquil yet thrilling experiences. And for golf lovers? There are 24 exceptional courses just waiting for you. When it's time to unwind from all that activity, visit some historic market towns like Peebles, Jedburgh or Melrose. So why wait any longer? Our cottages in the Scottish Borders promise a holiday experience that's truly unparalleled.

Inspiration of things to see and do in our cottages in the Scottish Borders

As one of the easiest regions in Scotland to reach, this area is known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and diverse cultural offerings. If you visit in June, don't miss the Borders Book Festival in Melrose. This annual event celebrates literature and hosts talks, discussions, and book signings with well-known authors.

Here are the top five things to see and do:

Melrose Abbey

Visit the magnificent Melrose Abbey, one of Scotland's most beautiful medieval ruins. The abbey's intricate architecture and lush surroundings make it a fascinating historical site to explore.

Abbotsford House

Discover the former home of Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's most celebrated writers. Abbotsford House is a stunning mansion filled with Scott's personal belongings, rare books, and beautiful art collections.

Jedburgh Abbey

Another impressive abbey in the Scottish Borders is Jedburgh Abbey. Explore the well-preserved ruins and learn about the abbey's rich history, which dates back to the 12th century.

Scott's View

Take in the breathtaking scenery from Scott's View, a viewpoint near the village of St Boswells. The view overlooks the River Tweed and the Eildon Hills, which was a favourite spot of Sir Walter Scott.

Outdoor Activities

The Scottish Borders offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Enjoy scenic walks and hikes along the Southern Upland Way or explore the tranquil beauty of the Borders Forest Park. Golfers will also appreciate the region's excellent golf courses.
