What Should I Do With Two Days In Scottish Borders?

If you have two days to spend in the Scottish Borders, here are some suggestions for places to visit:

  • Visit historic abbeys like Melrose Abbey and Jedburgh Abbey. Each visit takes about 1-2 hours.
  • Explore towns like Kelso and Peebles. Spend a few hours wandering around these charming spots.
  • Take a walk in the countryside, such as along the Southern Upland Way or through the Eildon Hills. A walk can take anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on the route you choose.
  • Visit the Floors Castle and Gardens, a beautiful historic castle with pretty gardens. This visit takes 2-3 hours.
  • Explore Traquair House, a historic mansion with beautiful gardens and a brewery. Allow 2-3 hours for this visit.
