Borders and Lothian Holiday Accommodation

Through the centre of the Borders and Lothian, tracing a silvery course from the hills to the sea, runs the River Tweed, fed by its many tributaries and providing some of the best fishing in Scotland. As well as fishing, you can try your hand at golf, riding or cycling, and make use of the modern sports centres and swimming pools. You'll discover friendly towns and charming villages, while the castles, abbeys, stately homes and museums illustrate the exciting and often bloody history of the area. It's that history which is commemorated in the Common Ridings and other local festivals, creating a colourful pageant much enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.

Whatever time of year you choose to visit the Borders and Lothian you can be sure of a warm welcome. The principal towns are all close neighbours. Rarely more than 20 miles separates one from another yet a particularly noticeable and rewarding feature of the area is the way the picture quickly changes with each town having its own distinctive character
