A JEWEL IN THE BORDERS
A former spa town, Moffat is still a reviving stop, with lovely walks, charming buildings, quirky shops and friendly residents who always have time to say hello.

BACK FROM THE BRINK
It was one of the most imposing mansions in Scotland, filled with priceless antiques, but still Dumfries House appeared to be doomed until an 11th-hour rescue took shape.

ANCIENT EDINBURGH
Peacefully coexisting within the boundaries of 21st-century Edinburgh are ancient societies, pagan festivals and atmospheric 600-year-old inns.

PERTHSHIRE'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
King William the Lion of Scotland made Perth a Royal Burgh 800 years ago, and to the town's proud residents, that's cause for celebration.

A HIGHLAND ESTATE
Set within unspoiled wilderness in the southwest Highlands, the Ardtornish Estate's grand Victorian house and cottages, splendid gardens and spellbinding history are a magical mix.
