LESSUDDEN AND SCOTT'S VIEW

Saturday 27 March 2010

Distance: 8 miles

Grading: Easy to moderate

In March, we enjoy the beauty and colour of the River Tweed at a particularly beautiful time of year.

From St Boswell’s, known until the 19th century as Lessudden, we follow a circular route. Our walk takes us along the wooded banks of the River Tweed and past Dryburgh Abbey.  We traverse the grounds of Bemersyde, home of the Haig family since the 12th century.  At Scott’s View, we are rewarded with stunning views looking out over the Tweed, the Eildon Hills and beyond. Later on there are views to Rubers Law and the Cheviots.

Closer at hand we see Smailholm Tower standing proudly.   We may have time to visit the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey on our return.

We have tea at the Mainstreet Trading Company tearoom and bookshop in St. Boswells.

Price £16 per person.
