Picture hundreds of square miles of rolling hills, dramatic coastline and placid valleys, interspersed with
quiet, unspoiled villages and towns. Imagine a place where you can escape from the pressures of everyday
life. A place where city car fumes and noise are exchanged for fresh air, piece and tranquillity.
Southern Scotland has a wealth of castles, abbeys, forests and glens that have a unique beauty and romance.
Given the friendly nature of the locals, it is hard to believe that this gentle area was once subjected to
bloody battles with the border folk being under continuous threat of invasion. However, Southern Scotland's
turbulent past has left its mark in positive ways - castles, peel towers, historic houses and traditional
festivals are all legacies from these times. Great Scottish poet Robert Burns was inspired by the landscape,
history and traditions to write his historic poems.
Highlights of your visit to Southern Scotland should include the gorgeous Caerlaverrock Castle and the Sweetheart
Abbey in Dumfries and Galloway, Gothic Melrose Abbey, and the unusual home of Sir Walter Scott, Abbotsford
house in Scottish Borders. Of course, no visit to Scotland would be complete without a visit to Ayrshire
and Isle of Arran's only whisky distillery to see Scotland's most famous export being produced.
