Pssst! Can you keep a secret?

Our new video showcases the unsung Scottish Borders.

For many tourists, Scotland is simply the Highlands and Edinburgh.

But they're missing out. The Scottish Borders is just an hour south of Edinburgh and less than two hours north of Newcastle.

It's where discerning walkers come to head into the hills and cyclists put in the hard miles on world class mountain biking trails.

There's history, there's wildlife (golden eagles and ospreys among the highlights) and a wealth of outdoor activities.

Learn about the Border Reivers, see where William Wallace was proclaimed Guardian of Scotland, tread in the footsteps of the Romans who ventured north and settled in the region.

The Scottish Borders: it's where Scotland begins.
