In 6 walking days, we covered approximately 75 miles through the borders region ….. a walk with lots of high vistas where you could “see forever”, passing thru many sheep pastures and and beautiful farmland, and following the peaceful Rivers Tweed and Teviot. Like all long distance walks, there were a few challenges, just enough to call it an adventure. This part of Scotland, sharing a border with England, has a long history which has shaped its strong Scottish pride. This was evident as we had the opportunity to walk town to town: Melrose, Kelso, Jedburgh , Howick and Selkirk.

The fact that they have been successful is a testimonial to the good information and materials they have always given provided us….. especially coming from the USA.
