    Famously Hawick | Textile trail

    Visit the producers who helped make this Scottish Borders town "the home of Tweed". What we like: Hawick bills itself as the cashmere, tweed and whisky town and Famously Hawick helps bring that heritage together, with tours of five of the main producers, all located between Hawick's four bridges. It's a must-see for anyone with an interest in textiles - especially when combined with a visit to the Borders Textile Towerhouse museum, which brings to life 200 years of knitwear a

    Scottish Food and Drink Trails | Borders

    Tea, whisky, fine food and blether - and all in the best possible taste. What we like: A fantastic range of foodie tours with the always-engaging Isobel, including a romp around the Borders tantalising the taste buds and taking in a three course lunch and a beer tasting at a local brewery. There's a tea tour featuring the history of tea smuggling and a chance to blend your own breakfast brew. And a wild picnic with a hamper of treats including Scottish langoustines and gin co

    Border E-bike Hire | Kelso

    Let the battery take the strain as you cycle the highways and byways of the Scottish Borders. What we like: The Scottish Borders offer some of the finest cycling routes in the UK - but there's no getting past the fact that the Southern Uplands do feature rather a lot of hills. Enter the E-bike - all the normal features of a conventional bicycle but with the added benefit of a battery powered motor to help you on your way. With a range of between 40 and 90 miles - depending on
