After a great couple of days in Berwick upon Tweed, with a super park up spot overlooking the water, it was up to the Scottish Borders, an area of Scotland that most people drive straight through. We decided to explore this area a little and also met up with a friend who was back visiting the UK from the USA. We first met in Glastonbury when I was touring in the van down south and stayed in touch. Together we went to find the statue of Wallace and Leaderfort Viaduct, which were both impressive to see.
Learning about the history under cloudy skies of the abbey ruins at Kelso, Melrose and Dryburgh, together with quiet river walks soon filled our days. The towns here have a real warmth to them and you soon feel really at home.
Sadly this is as far north as we shall venture on this trip, but I’m super glad I know more about the place names on the map now in this region. Our trip south (and west) begins…
