 about us

The Borders is rich in history and heritage being the region where most of the historic conflict between the Scots and the English was enacted.

At times it has been extremely wealthy giving rise to a multitude of castles, religious foundations and great houses. Our scenery and wildlife are outstanding. We richly deserve our place on the shortlist to become a world heritage site. Our roads, hills and beaches are quiet enabling you to relax in peace, and yet access is easy.

We are roughly equidistant from Newcastle and Edinburgh airports (an hour's drive in each case) and the main line rail link between London and Edinburgh stops at Berwick-upon-Tweed, a perfect lauching point for your Borders holiday.

There are many charming and historic wedding venues in the Borders. It is possible to marry in Abbey ruins, a stately home, a country house hotel or one of the many churches and wedding rooms in our area.

We welcome you to the Borders Tourist Board website. We aim to link up tourists and tourist related businesses in the Borders Region which encompasses southern Scotland and Northern England. Our membership comprises tourist related businesses and organisations in the Borders.
