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.

Eyemouth
A very nice little fishing port. Still is the only commercial centre in the Borders for serious fish. When one walks around one can tell this is a business place whose business is fish. But that aside a nice place to visit, quaint houses, good harbour with live seals for entertainment (free!), and a good restaurant in Oblo. Across the harbour is the house of a well known smuggler which has been restored and shows how life was in the days of avoiding "the revenue". Also has a good museum of smuggling and fishing, but they charge £3.50 each.
