Around the Local Area

If you are in the area for a few days, you may wish to venture further afield than Kelso.
There are many attractive small towns and villages only a few miles away.
Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, is only about an hour away by car on uncrowded roads,
and Goldilands provides an excellent base for touring quite a wide area.
