Some dream of kings and queens, while others envision epic sieges. But many of us conjure up worlds of wizards and dragons.

It has been a fiercely contested battleground for the Scots and English, a luxurious residence for powerful earls and dukes, and even starred as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.

Let your imagination take flight on this journey through historic towns, captivating tales, and stunning views of the Scottish and English borders!

Highlights of your tour:

  • Kelso: Home to a ruined abbey, a charming cobbled town square, and delightful boutique shops.
  • The Borders: Explore the gentle valleys and rolling hills that are a true delight.
  • Alnwick Castle: This magnificent castle has been featured in both Harry Potter and Downton Abbey.
