Overview

This tour takes you off the beaten path into one of Scotland's less visited regions. The Scottish Borders is full of fascinating history, historic places to visit and beautiful scenery. Because it is less popular the places we visit are often quieter, giving you more time to learn about the history, hear the stories and appreciate the scenes. Your private tour guide and driver will bring the stories of the border region to life as we drive along country roads, spotting local wildlife and stopping to snap the rolling scenery of the area.

Itinerary

  • Rosslyn Chapel

    Rosslyn Chapel is world-famous because of its role in Dan Brown’s mystery novel ‘The Da Vinci Code. The chapel is surrounded by legend, and its building is of great beauty and interest. It was begun by William Sinclair, first Earl of Caithness in 1442.

    45 minutes

  • Abbotsford

    Abbotsford is the the home of Georgian Scots novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott. Designed by William Atkinson and Edward Blore in the Scottish baronial style, it and was constructed between 1817 and 1824. We’ll take the tour through the public areas of Abbotsford and learn about Scott’s life here.

    1 hour

  • Traquair House

    We travel along the River Tweed to Traquair House. Scotland’s oldest continually inhabited property, Traquair is in as near an original state as any house in Scotland from the period and is full of interesting artefacts including a library of more than 3,000 volumes and display of possessions of Mary Queen of Scots.

    1 hour

  • Scott's View

    We stop briefly to take in the inspiration views over the Eldon Hills from Scott's View. Fresh air and flora and fauna abound in this rich rural landscape.

Book this tour with Laura!!! Laura and the Tour was FANTASTIC! Highly Recommended

Published on Jan, 2025

Laura provided one of the best tours we've ever had. She is a wonderful, courteous guide who went beyond our expectations. Laura called ahead for site guides at Rosslyn Chapel and Melrose Abbey with both gentlemen greeting us and sharing their historical knowledge. Laura also managed to fit in Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, as the final stop. Laura is highly recommended, as she will provide a fantastic experience and has a great sense of humor (which definitely fits me and my family).
