Hotels in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom

The Scottish Borders is a region in southern Scotland, famous for its ruined abbeys like Melrose Abbey and the history of the Border Reivers who raided here. The climate is cool, with summer highs around 65°F (18°C) perfect for hiking the Southern Upland Way along the River Tweed, and winter lows near 30°F (-1°C) ideal for exploring the textile mills of Hawick where cashmere is made. In spring, you can fish for salmon in the Tweed, while autumn brings cheaper B&B rates and fewer tourists at the Abbotsford estate of Sir Walter Scott.
