A GUIDE TO THE SCOTTISH BORDERS - Four years ago we left Trinidad in the warm Caribbean, and migrated to Scotland to the Border area of Eildon, Walter Scott (of Ivanhoe and Rob Roy fame) lived here. Its a beautiful area, varying from soft rolling hills with hidden valleys, to rough moorland high up and bleak. Its quiet and calm here and we love it. This blog will be my diary of our adventures and our recommendations of places to visit and eat and explore.

Autumn Days
Although we are only in late August the nights are already getting cold. But we are currently basking in some nice sunchine, while my brothers in England face daily rain. We have found that the Borders seem to get good days right through to Christmas, where although it is cold, it is also clear and sunny. Thisn is our first year to "grow our own" and we have had abundant beans, peas, potato, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and fruit such as blueberry and raspberry.
