The Beautiful Scottish Borders

[Julia Elliott]

I recently returned from my first trip to Scotland, and spent 3 weeks in the gorgeous Borders area. It is an area full of stories of Border Reivers, and the history of the Elliott's, Scott's , Armstrong's ,Graham's, to name just a few. I purposely chose this area to focus on because of my interest in the history , but even if you have no knowledge or interest in that...ifyou ever go...you will be spellbound by the rolling hills , the rivers and the beautiful , little towns and the lovely people.

Its been really hard deciding which pictures to share. I took close to 600 , but hopefully this sampling will prove that the highlands and the top tourist attractions are not the only places in Scotland worth visiting .

First stop was Peebles..also got to attend my first Scocha concert here and met up with Cessna152towser I fell in love with this little town.
these were all taken on my walks along the Tweed.
