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.

2011 arrives
More with a whimper than a bang. The snow is slowly melting, the temperature is above freezing but its still bitterly cold. Went down to Scremerston Beach on New years day for a walk to blow the cobwebs away and the wind was cutting. Many people out though, I guess walking off the drink. As it was a quiet day drove around Berwick Upon Tweed, a place usually snarled with traffic. It has some lovely old regency buildings and quiet streets, its actually a gem of a small town and I like it more each time I visit.
