Overview

This tour takes you off the beaten path into one of Scotland's less visited regions. The Scottish Borders is full of fascinating history, historic places to visit and beautiful scenery. Because it is less popular the places we visit are often quieter, giving you more time to learn about the history, hear the stories and appreciate the scenes. Your private tour guide and driver will bring the stories of the border region to life as we drive along country roads, spotting local wildlife and stopping to snap the rolling scenery of the area.
