Our trip to Melrose went without a hitch and was a great success; everyone seemed to have had a great time.
We had three day trips, and thankfully the weather was kind to us. We went to Jedburgh and Kelso two quaint, typically Scottish towns, Edinburgh, where we had a short guided tour and then time to ourselves. The last trip and my favourite was to Lindisfarne Holy Island, with some stunning views across to the mainland and the ruined abbey.
The walkers among us went on two magnificent walks, the first along the River Tweed, where Gary and Tina managed to video an Otter fishing, unfortunately I didn’t see this. We then continued via Sir Walter Scott’s house to Loch Cauldeshiels and then back to the hotel.
The second walk was through the Eildon Hills by the Rhymer’s stone and again along the Tweed back to the hotel, taking time to view Melrose Abbey and Melrose itself.
The hotel itself was very good as was the food and the staff very helpful and quick. There was entertainment every night, which was very good especially the first night.
Thanks to everybody for making it such a memorable trip.
