Abbotsford House - Home of Sir Walter Scott

© Little Scottish Treasures - Magical Tours

Melrose

Explore the Borders - Day Tour

The Scottish Borders were the inspiration for Scotland's greatest novelist, 'Sir Walter Scott' and for good reason. An area is steeped in ancient legends of King Arthur, abductions by fairies and the notorious Border Reivers who terrorised this land.

*Ask about customising your tour at no extra cost*

£750 private tour for up to 7 people (price is per tour, not per person)

All of our tours are private, it will only be you and your partner, family or friends accompanying us, in our luxury vehicles which can carry up to 7 passengers in comfort.

After picking you up from your accommodation we will head South to an area with an abundance of ancient historical buildings, many of them in a ruinous state due to the ravages of wars fought here long ago. But don't think that you are just restricted to the attractions on the itinerary below.

This is 'your' tour, and we encourage our guests to share their passions and interests, tell us what really attracts them to Scotland and let us know if you want to see as much as is physically possible or to take things nice and easy to truly immerse yourself in these magical locations.

At Little Scottish Treasures we believe in avoiding the crowds whenever possible, taking the routes less frequently travelled, feeling Scotland under your feet, rather than seeing it out of a coach window and sharing a 'Little Treasure' or two along the way.

What is included in the tour.

  • Pick up & drop off at your accommodation
  • Private transport & guiding for up to 7 guests
  • All travel costs
  • Dedicated private tour guide
  • Snacks and complementary Scotch Whisky tasting
  • Guiding included within attractions 
  • A tour lasting between 9 & 10 hours

Some attractions charge a fee to enter, we can provide a cost for entry fees upon request which can be included in the tour total. A lunch stop will be arranged by your guide, but if the day is glorious you may want to suggest a picnic in a place of beauty instead.
