TAM from Galashiels. Posted 14 Nov 2005.
Please come off the big roads from England into Scotland, and come into the borders - the rewards will be great: you will see scenery that is hard to beat, the River Tweed flowing from west to east, with great river side walks to great salmon fishing.
There are also great forest walks, smashing towns to visit, and the great abbey towns of Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose (the town that started the rugby sevens). Galashiels, Selkirk, Hawick are famous for their woollen mills. If you are heading for Edinburgh and the north, it would be well worth a stop in Peebles, the scenery is great as well as its great walks along the River Tweed, also the town has great shopping (with a market on every Thursday).
So come on in to the Scttish Borders, you will not regret it. | | |

Can anyone out there remember the Bucky Braes. I used to visit my Grannie who lived in Cherry Bank Perth Scotland and have grand memories of going for walks on the Braes as a young child. I am not too sure if I have the spelling right.

Have to agree with TAM. Although my work has brought me to Holland, I was born and brought up in Galashiels. I miss the hills, scenery and the people. Scotland doesn't start at Edinburgh or Glasgow so don't be shy, come to the most friendly part of the country!
