You will be able to come to the viewpoint from Melrose and St Boswells to admire the stunning view of the River Tweed and Eildon Hills.

Melrose Abbey is a magnificent ruin on a grand scale with lavishly decorated masonry.
Probably the most famous ruin in Scotland, the abbey was founded by David I in 1136 for the Cistercian Order, and it was largely destroyed by Richard II's English army in 1385. The surviving remains of the church are of the early 15th century, and are of an elegance unsurpassed in Scotland. Objects found during excavation are displayed in the Commendator's House.
The exterior of this magnificent ruin is decorated by unusual sculptures, including hobgoblins, cooks with ladles and a bagpipe playing pig.
The abbey is also thought to be the burial place of Robert the Bruce's heart, marked with a commemorative carved stone plaque within the grounds.

Traquair House & Brewery
o oră Intrarea nu este inclusă
Visit the oldest inhabited house in Scotland and discover its fascinating history.
Once a pleasure ground for Scottish Kings, then a refuge for Catholic priests, the Stuarts of Traquair supported Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobite cause without counting the cost.
Trace the footsteps of the kings of Scotland as you climb the turnpike staircase and discover how priests escaped in times of danger.
When Mary Queen of Scots visited Traquair in 1566 a brewery was working, and in 1739 a 200 gallon copper was installed in one of the wings beneath the chapel.
Having fallen into disuse for over 200 years, the brewery was rediscovered by Peter Maxwell Stuart, 20th Laird of Traquair who began brewing again in 1965.
Traquair House Brewery now produces a selection of traditional Scottish ales. Strong, dark and deliciously rich, the ales are fermented in oak and have won awards all over the world.
