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.

Economy
The Borders only employment is either agriculture or government (over 30%). It also included weaving and manufacturing but thats all died or dying. I spoke to the man from my garage in Earlston today and he said business is bad, people are only fixing if its broken and he does not see it picking up through 2011 only getting worse as the government is forced to cut.
