A hundred KM walk through the Scottish countryside off the coast of Northumberland.
Reviewed By SteveBraysher - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Over the years we have walked a lot of Britain's long distance foot paths and have used a nuber of firms to organise our treks, but this was the first time with Shepherds Walks - They were OUTSTANDING, the best we have used. They were helpful and accommodating when we were planning the trip, the information and advice they provided was spot on, the organisation excellent and the standard of accommodation we were booked into along the route was consistently top notch, a step up from what seems to be the norm. The walk itself is one of the most clearly way marked we have come across , so you don't need to be particularly good at navigation - at least in good weather (which we were lucky enough to get). One of the nice things about the route is the wide variety of scenery; small towns, lowland river valleys, the wilder, hilly sections and then the coast. All in all, an excellent trip and a big thank you to Shepherds Walks

Abbotsford is the extraordinary home of the 19th century novelist and ‘Great Scott’ who popularised tartan, saved the Scottish banknote and rediscovered his country’s Crown Jewels.

Visit Abbotsford during this special occasion to meet the man behind the monument, whose imagination and patriotism shaped the Scotland of today. Discover a treasure trove of fascinating objects which inspired his greatest poems and novels. Learn about Scott's life, browse the gift shop, enjoy seasonal food in our cafe or simply relax in the beautiful formal gardens and tranquil woodlands.

if you're anywhere near Melrose. Fascinating house of Sir Walter Scott with an excellent hand-held audio guide that allows you to wander through at your own pace, providing optional commentary on additional items in each room/area. Also, the gardens are quite nice, even in September. I am one of those driven people who like to get in and get out, but even so, we spent close to 3 hours here. Don't miss.

Harmony garden is a beautiful garden area, which is free to enter and has within it, well presented Harmony house, surrounded by sunken gardens, well laid bulb gardens, together with nurtured salad gardens and is accompanied by an interesting quiz on a sheet, available from a dispenser at the entrance to the garden The tour of the gardens takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on your interest level, but is fun and enjoyable

Right beside the abbey this National Trust of Scotland garden is another tranquil haven. Smaller than the other NTS garden down the road, but still full of interest. With it's many and varied shrubs and flowers and a really interesting collection of heritage apple trees. Spend a relaxing while here before taking in the magnificent abbey.
