Lazy Days - Culture Trail

With a unique combination of adventure, activity, culture and tranquility on offer the Tweed Valley really does have something for everyone. If you are particularly interested in exploring the culture of the area you really are spoilt for choice.

Here are just some of the cultural highlights on offer in this beautiful part of Scotland.

A must is a visit to Traquair House near Innerleithen which is Scotland's oldest inhabited house spanning over a thousand years of Scottish history and still a family home. Strong associations with Mary Queen of Scots and the Jacobites, highlights include the secret stairs, spooky cellar, the library, 18th century dining room and you can sample Traquair Ale at the brewery.

Also in Innerleithen is St Ronan's Wells which is housed in an historic spa and has strong links to writers Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg.

If you head south through the Tweed Valley and only half an hour from Traquair you can visit Abbotsford House near Melrose. This is the home that Sir Walter Scott built and lived in and includes fascinating collections, the renowned library and study in a beautiful setting overlooking the Tweed.

To learn more about the life of Thirty Nine Steps author John Buchan visit the John Buchan Museum in Broughton. This is just one of over 100 books he wrote and which were influenced by his Scottish upbringing and time spent in the area.

And when you come back to Peebles you can top off your cultural journey with a visit to The Eastgate Theatre for a performance of your choice from their all year round arts events.

Lazy Days - Garden Lover's Trail

For Garden Lover's the area has some wonderful gardens to explore and all very different from each other.

Kailzie Gardens just outside Peebles is a large Scottish domestic garden on the grand scale which occupies a beautiful position on the River Tweed. Surrounded by magnificent hills, and planted with a wide variety of mature specimen trees.

Dawyck Botanic Garden at Stobo is one of four gardens that comprise the National Botanic Gardens of Scotland and is a regional garden of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh whose mission is to explore and explain the world of plants.


St Ronan's Wells Visitor Centre in Innerleithen is housed in an historic spa, the exhibitions tell the story of Innerleithen and St Ronan's Wells, describing their connections with the great Scottish writers, Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg.

The natural beauty of the grounds of Traquair House are a perfect complement to the intimate nature of the house. There are no formal gardens here but over 100 acres of woodlands, lawns and the more modern maze now celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2006.

Find out more on our website.

Lazy Days - Take your Time Walking Trail

This is an area which offers numerous opportunities for walkers of all abilities. Covering 13 miles from Peebles to Broughton, The John Buchan Way, a new path which is way marked in both directions and mainly follows long established hill tracks, is a good route for beginners and can be finished off with a trip to the John Buchan Centre at Broughton.

For Forest Walking there are numerous routes at Glentress varying from short strolls of an hour or so perhaps to see specimen trees or a waterfall, to longer walks taking 3 to 4 hours and reaching viewpoints commanding extensive panoramas. There are even identified routes which are suitable for buggies, dogs on leads are also permitted. Forest Walking is also available in Thornielee Forest and Pirn Caberston Forest, both within the Tweed Valley Forest Park.

There are also numerous Town Walks around Peebles and Innerleithen which vary in distance such as the 5 mile Tweed and Neidpath Castle Walk or the Peebles Town Trail which takes you on a fascinating historical walk of the town.

Lazy Days - the Foodie Trail

A treat for the tastebuds! This trail gives you a real flavour of the Tweed Valley and highlights a selection of local restaurants, cafés and independent food suppliers which all provide the very best of local produce.

Try the famous Caldwells Ice Cream in Innerleithen and for locally produced beers you can sample Broughton Ale throughout the area or Jacobite Ale from Traquair, Scotland's longest continually inhabited house which has its own Brewery. Ask our barman for Cuddy Bridge Apple Juice, hand pressed juice made in Innerleithen, or try your hand at making delicious chocolates and truffles at the Cocoa Black Chocolate School in Peebles.

As well as The Tontine for tasty lunches, leisurely dinners and daytime light snacks and refreshments (we use local produce wherever possible), the Foodie Trail recommends local restaurants such as The Sunflower in Peebles; the Horseshoe Inn at Eddleston and Osso Restaurant in Peebles on Innerleithen Road.

Forsyths the Butchers & Bakers in Peebles is a Peebles landmark and the place to go for cold meats and pies for picnics. For the perfect accompaniment to all of this delicious local food a visit to Villeneuve Wines is a must, they are one of the leading fine wine and whisky retailers in the U.K. and currently list over 2000 wines from all around the world and over 150 malt whiskies. You will be spoilt for choice!

Whitmuir Farm at West Linton is highly recommended for organic produce and supply everything from fresh soft fruits, organic eggs and meat. Also Bonnington Farm is known for their organic eggs both chicken and on the odd occasion duck.
