For centuries, the English-Scottish border was marked by relentless conflict, shifting power, and constant struggle for control. Kings battled for dominance, while ordinary families fought simply to survive, protect their homes, and secure their land. This region, shaped by warfare and resilience, carries stories of bravery, bloodshed, and the forging of identity.
On this full-day tour, you will be collected from Berwick-upon-Tweed before travelling to Melrose and the Roman fort of Trimontium. From there, the journey continues through a chain of castles along the River Tweed, including Norham, each revealing a chapter of how the modern border was formed. Entry to all sites is included, and pickup can be arranged from the location you prefer.
