A destination for all seasons
Whether using organised tours or exploring at your own pace, you can discover friendly towns and villages with their local festivals and traditions such as the summer Common Ridings. Explore our dramatic and colourful history through special events such as a medieval fayre, a walking festival or a clan gathering.
Take part in a wide variety of sporting pursuits. Or spectate from the sidelines at a rugby match, with all its fervour and rivalry: it’s a matter of great local pride that an area of such low population should make such an enormous contribution to the game at a national level, as well as supplying so many of Scotland’s greatest rugby players. .
What makes the Scottish Borders such a hugely popular tourist destination is the sheer range of activities packed into such a small and accessible region. Walking, golfing, horse riding, mountain biking, windsurfing, clay pigeon shooting, birds of prey, off road driving, the list is long! Through the centre of the region, 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.
Make use of our modern sports centres and swimming pools, or enjoy the open Scottish Borders countryside and view nature at its seasonal best. Whatever your interests or however you like to spend your free time, you'll find something to keep you entertained in the Scottish Borders.
A full list of events and activities in the Scottish Borders will be added to the Back to the Borders website very shortly.
