Literature

Stories and storytellers abound in The Borders. This is the land of the ballad and fairy tale, with Sir Walter Scott as the dominant figure, his influence still plainly on show to this day. Abbotsford is a magnificent, jewel in the crown attraction where Scott and his world come to life. But there is so much more, from John Buchan in Peeblesshire, James Hogg in the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys to Thomas The Rhymer in the shadow of The Eildon Hills, we can devise a tour which will satisfy all fans of classic literature. Throw in the one of a kind Victorian Printworks at Robert Smail’s and a trip to some of the regions wonderful Book Shops and you have a trip to remember!
