Most people who travel to Scotland don't typically head south of Edinburgh into the Scottish Borders.

But I'm thinking maybe this needs to change.

There are a lot of fabulous places to visit in this part of Scotland — pastoral landscapes with easy walks, charming towns and villages,  beautiful rivers and stunning abbeys and stately homes.

How does this sound?

Well if it sounds appealing then tune into this episode to learn more about the Scottish Borders.

I'm betting you'll be adding this to your Scotland itinerary!
