The area that borders England and Scotland is known, on the Scottish side - appropriately enough, as the Scottish Borders.
An area of outstanding countryside and hospitality, the Scottish Borders covers 1,800 square miles (approx 4,700 square kilometres) through rolling hills, moorland, rocky coastlines, agricultural plains, and picturesque fishing villages.
This is a do-it-all or relax-and-do-very-little area. The choice is yours. From golf, to diving, clay pigeon shooting, ballooning, fishing, canoeing, walking, horse riding, museums, crafts, 4x4, gardens, or visitor attractions - the choice is almost limitless. But the things that will probably impress you the most are the stunningly beautiful scenery and the warmth of the welcome extended by the people of the area.
Marketed as a short-break destination, the Borders is a great area to visit. Further information can be obtained from the extensive tourist website www.scot-borders.co.uk, providing more detail than we cold possibly cover in these pages - including details of accommodation, places to visit, and current events.

Looking for somewhere to stay in the Scottish Borders and fancy a spot of luxury in a 19th century country mansion set in 28 acres, with a walled garden and simply beautiful views? Do you like good food, a friendly atmosphere, and staff who actually know their guests and speak with a proper Scottish brogue? Then if you're in the area of Peebles (just 20 miles from Edinburgh) you might find that the Cringletie House Hotel has everything to meet your needs. With just 13 rooms (numbered 1 to 14 with no number 13, of course) this is luxury on a private scale the like of which few hotels in the world can actually match. If you want a perfect slice of Scotland, this could be the place for you. To find out more about the hotel, visit their website at http://www.cringletie.com.
