Gentle landscapes and bold knights
The Borders are also steeped in a long history of kings and knights – with stories of King Arthur and Merlin, William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots trailing through the numerous castles and abbeys scattered throughout the area. Wandering west to Ayrshire, you enter the land that inspired Scotland’s National Poet, Robert Burns.
