Hotels in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom

The Scottish Borders stretch along England's edge, with four distinct towns-Melrose, Jedburgh, Kelso, and Hawick-each offering its own flavor of history and textile heritage. Its cool summers average 60°F (15°C), ideal for hiking the Southern Upland Way or exploring the ruins of Melrose Abbey, while winters hover around 38°F (3°C), perfect for warming up in a cozy pub after walking the Sir Walter Scott trail around the Eildon Hills. Come in late spring or early fall to catch the cashmere mills in Hawick and avoid peak tourist crowds.
