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.

Norham Castle
Well worth a visit. This free entry ruined castle is situated right on the Tweed but on the English side, just over a small one way bridge from the Borders. Apparently built by the Prince Bishops of Durham the castle is impressive even in ruin, showing walls over 20ft thick and a still standing central tower. The castle overlooked a well known Tweed ford, the first ford from the ocean.
