Hiking

This path lies high above Galashiels. Hills surround it on all sides, but the most striking two are the Eildon Hills. These three volcanic peaks are iconic landmarks in the Borders landscape. They were an important center of power in the Iron Age, with Eildon Hill North home to one of Scotland's largest hill forts. From the peaks, you have expansive views over the Tweed Valley, so a walk there is definitely a must-do. The Southern Upland Way follows this path.
