The Scottish Borders region
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the rugged landscapes of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. The beautiful countryside of Dumfries and Galloway is littered with fortresses and strongholds, testimony to its dramatic history. Moving north, the Highlands are to Scotland what the Pyrenees are to France, with equally breathtaking scenery and fantastic opportunities for walking and mountaineering. Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park are particularly famous for skiing, whilst Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain at 1343m, is a firm favourite for those seeking a challenge.
For the less energetic, the Whisky Trail provides a unique way of exploring many of Scotland’s attractions and for quieter moments, there’s always Loch Ness and a chance to spot the elusive monster! Scotland also has some of Britain’s best and cleanest beaches. Cromarty is famous for its bottle-nosed dolphins and Nairn, whilst claiming to be one of the sunniest and driest places in the country, has glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam. Several islands lie off the Scottish coast, each with their own character and heritage, however the Isle of Skye is probably the best known and most visited. As the largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye’s turbulent geological past has bequeathed it a stunning coastline.
Experienced walkers are drawn to the Black Cuillin Mountains, whilst those less experienced have an array of lower level coastal walks from which to choose or alternatively, visitors can take some time to visit Skye’s capital, the charming harbour town of Portree.
The Duns / Swinton area
The village of Swinton has been a rural centre since the 11th Century, but has been in its present form since the 1700s. Swinton lies just five miles north of Coldstream, which is on the banks of an excellent salmon river for anglers. Once the main town of the area, Duns, is steeped in history and a visit is highly recommended. There are many castles in the area and grand houses throughout the Scottish Boarders as well as the outdoor pursuits of fishing, golf and walking to keep everyone occupied during their visit. The east coast, with its beautiful, unspoiled beaches, is only a short drive away and Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, can be reached in an hour. This is a lovely area and can be enjoyed all year round and is a great base to see all the region has to offer.

Guestbook for 2821 - 4 Swinton Hill Farm
What an amazing break we had. The property was very well equipped and furnished. It's a hidden gem which we will almost certainly be visiting again. An excellent location, friendly neighbours and some lovely walks to do locally. The Christmas tree was a fantastic touch too and we were kept snug and warm by the awesome heating system and the wood burner on the cold frosty nights! Thanks for making our break a special one.
