Step into the heart of Scotland’s Border Abbeys with award‑winning storyteller and driver guide Stewart Wilson (Tweed Valley Blogger). This intimate, small‑group tour (maximum 4 guests only) explores the region’s four great Medieval Abbeys - Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso, and Jedburgh - with vivid tales of saints, kings, poets and reformers. Along the way, we pause at Scott’s View for one of the most iconic panoramas in Scotland.
