🚗PeeblesStart Point

Peebles is the most attractive and prosperous town in the Scottish Borders — a High Street of independent shops stretching along the north bank of the Tweed, surrounded by wooded hills and with the vast Glentress Forest mountain bike and walking centre just two miles east.

A genuinely excellent small town with outstanding independent shops, cafés and a river swimming hole, Peebles makes one of the most enjoyable walking bases in southern Scotland — the John Buchan Way, the Tweed, and the Southern Upland Way are all within easy reach.
