Peebles is a delightful Scottish Borders town that is well worth visiting!

Peebles is situated on the beautiful River Tweed and is surrounded by the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands. The town is recognised for its splendid natural setting, for its good amenities and wide range of independent shops, and for its traditional and ancient character (it was granted a Royal Charter in 1367 and its main bridge across the Tweed dates from the 15th Century).

Peebles is a popular centre for hikers. There are many local trails that explore the nearby rolling grass and heather hills, forests, castles and the River Tweed. The town is also a hub for long-distance walkers. The Cross Borders Drove Road passes through the town, the John Buchan Way ends in Peebles, and a popular LEJOG (Land’s End to John O’ Groats) walking route transits Peebles.

During your visit to Peebles, you'd miss out if you didn't take a stroll across the pleasant Tweed Green and along the banks of the serene and photogenic River Tweed!

View of Neidpath Castle

Highlight • Castle

Neidpath Castle was founded as far back as 1190 but the present castle was mostly built in the 14th century. It's a rare example of a fortified tower house.
It's not open to the public although you can walk past close by. It is a holiday and wedding venue though so you can hire it if you wish. The castle has also featured as the backdrop in several films and tv series.
