If you fancy a day by the sea, head to the Berwickshire coast, dominated by towering cliffs dotted with ancient ruins, occasionally giving way to hidden coves and beaches. Shop for meat, seafood, fruit and vegetables at your nearest market or enjoy an evening meal at one of the region's many inns and restaurants, where delicious food is prepared with the best local ingredients. A Berwickshire holiday cottage is an excellent choice if you want to sample the best food the Scottish Borders have to offer.

Some of Berwickshire's most spectacular scenery is found near the English border, along Yarrow Water, between Selkirk and Moffat and in Tweed Valley. Don't miss Sir Walter Scott's mansion at Abbotsford or Traquair House and Brewery - said to be Scotland's oldest inhabited home. The textile-producing towns of Galashiels and Hawick are well worth a visit, as is Duns, the former county town of Berwickshire, with fine architecture and independent businesses to explore.
