OUT & ABOUT

Activities

Whether you’re keen on walking, sports, culture, history, or simply shopping, relaxing and fine dining, there’s plenty to enjoy in the Scottish Borders.

The Borders is a paradise for outdoor sports, offering golf courses, salmon fishing, hill walking, horse riding, cycling and mountain biking, just for starters. You’ll also find indoor swimming pools, clay pigeon shooting, falconry, and marine diving off St Abbs Head.

If you’re interested in arts and culture, history or genealogy, visit our links for some of our favourite castles, abbeys, historic houses, concerts, festivals and pageants.

And while you’re here, make sure you seize the chance to shop for some of our famous designer textiles! You’ll find mill shops and cashmere outlets in many Borders towns.

However you want to spend your perfect holiday, you’ll find lots of ideas right here!
