Map of Scotland
Sightseeing in Borders picture - In September of 2000 my husband and I took a tour of The Scottish Borders with Lord Addison Tours company. It took us to The Borders area of Scotland... in violet on the map, marked with a red star. The Scottish Borders, less than an hour's drive from Edinburgh, is an area of tranquil villages, bustling textile towns and varied scenery. You'll see a wide range of attractions here, including many magnificent historic houses, great Border Abbeys, which tell their own tale of Border feuds with England, and working woolen mills and craft workshops.
