BORDERS TOUR 2017

Strange goings on in the Borders, from a time past, we think.  Did we stumble through the stones?

Day four of the Borders Tour 2017 and as you can see, we have been to the coast, but the ocean was away.   We have seen rare beasts in the wild, we have eaten amazing sea-food, we have heard the abbey bells call us to Evensong, we have stormed a couple of castles.  Tomorrow, we meet the Romans.  What have they ever done for us?

Calling Lurkers!

Two spaces have become available on the Western Isles Tour, last minute. Move quickly if you want to join us on this most remarkable adventure in September. We'll be there over the equinox, when the balance of light and dark is equal and strange things happen.

Border Tour Video Diary

Here's a video diary entry from Dale, Amy and Meagan from last year's Borders Tour. It made us laugh. Something for you all to enjoy as you ponder your OWN coming summer adventures.

SCOTTISH THATCHING

Scot has been away this week doing one of his other traditions - Scottish thatching.  Here's one of the more unusual photos from the job - smoking the roof from the inside.
