Bracket Fungus on Tree Trunks

Highlight • Forest

We accidentally went on to mountain bike tracks when we got to the bottom of the track and realised we had lost the blue-markered pathway. We were politely informed by a cyclist that we were walking up a bike trail and to be careful. At that stage it would have taken us as long to go back as to move forward so we kept with it just walking to the side off-trail. This was fine in the lovely dry weather we had but would have been tricky in the wet so just mind where you are!

Peebles Hydro Hotel

Highlight • Monument

Peebles Hydro, built in 1881 to a design by John Starforth. This French Renaissance style building in red sandstone with many turrets burned down in 1905. The architect for the present building was James Miller, who designed the Turnberry Hotel. Hydropathic hotels were very fashionable in the early 1900s, visitors were encouraged to take the local waters as a curative for
various real or imaginary ailments.

Peebles is a delightful Scottish Borders town that is well worth visiting!

Peebles is situated on the beautiful River Tweed and is surrounded by the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands. The town is recognised for its splendid natural setting, for its good amenities and wide range of independent shops, and for its traditional and ancient character (it was granted a Royal Charter in 1367 and its main bridge across the Tweed dates from the 15th Century).

Peebles is a popular centre for hikers. There are many local trails that explore the nearby rolling grass and heather hills, forests, castles and the River Tweed. The town is also a hub for long-distance walkers. The Cross Borders Drove Road passes through the town, the John Buchan Way ends in Peebles, and a popular LEJOG (Land’s End to John O’ Groats) walking route transits Peebles.

During your visit to Peebles, you'd miss out if you didn't take a stroll across the pleasant Tweed Green and along the banks of the serene and photogenic River Tweed!
