Overlooking the Eildon Hills

If you appreciate a fine view then Scotland provides wonderful vista after vista. Indeed, some of the views of Scottish scenery rank among the best in the world. One of the top contenders lies in the Scottish Borders where Scott’s View offers a sweeping outlook over stunning countryside.

The Scottish Borders stand in the south of Scotland and are made up of a bucolic landscape of rolling hills and valleys, dotted with the occasional conical mount revealing the area’s volcanic origins. Scott’s View has one of the best vantage points in the area, taking in the River Tweed valley below.

It has been reported that the 2010 spring run of salmon and sea trout has started early this year and the fishing on the South Esk has been the best in recent years.
