The Borders
The countless castles, abbeys and historic monuments of Edinburgh offer an excellent contrast to the dramatic coastline and rolling countryside of the Northumbrian Heritage Coast. The Scottish Borders are a great place to take your next cottage holiday in Scotland - full of history, with many abbeys and castles to investigate, including the beautiful ruins of Melrose Abbey.
For a more active cottage holiday in Scotland, enjoy cycling or walking along sections of the St Cuthbert’s Way or Southern Upland Way, or head to the pretty Berwickshire coastline for some reviving sea air.
Edinburgh offers plenty to excite including the Castle, Palace of Holyroodhouse, the botanical gardens, museums, art galleries, and theatres.
