The Tweed

One of the world's great salmon rivers, the Tweed cuts through the heart of the Scottish Borders and, in part, forms the historic boundary between Scotland and England. Rising in the rolling hills near Moffat it weaves through a cherished landscape on its way to Berwick-upon-Tweed and the North Sea passing through the proud Border towns of Peebles, Galashiels, Melrose, Kelso and Coldstream on the way. There is no better way to discover the wildlife, architecture and history of this area of Scotland than to walk. Whatever your ability - walking at high or low level, following tough terrain or level paths - the 25 routes in this guide offer something for everyone.
