EXPLORE

The Five Turrets lies at the heart of some of the best walking country in Scotland. 

From a gentle stroll around the local loch to hiking the Southern Upland Way, there's something for everyone.

Our favourite? Head out of the front door and across the valley and keep going until you reach the Three Brethren. Click on the picture for more suggestions.

The Borders is a region steeped in history and is packed with places to visit, from Hadrian’s Wall to the south to Edinburgh an hour away to the north.

Learn about the notorious Border Reivers, visit Sir Walter Scott's home at Abbotsford or explore the rich history of the region's role as the centre of the Scottish textile industry. Click on the picture for our recommendations.

ACTIVITIES

Climb and zip wire through the trees at the nearby Go Ape, fly birds of prey in the Kielder forest or whizz down a hillside on a grass sledge at Born in the Borders.

Want to see Ospreys? There are nests all around the Borders, several with cameras and volunteers on hand to help you catch a sight of these magnificent birds. 

There are red squirrels too. And boat trips to see seals and puffins in the Farne Islands.  Click on the picture for some of our favourites.

There's a good selection of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, along with lovely coffee shops and tea rooms.
