A beautiful market town that Mary Queen of Scots famously visited. Optional visit to the Abbey.

En continuant vers le sud, nous ferons une halte au pittoresque Carter Bar, au bord des Cheviot Hills. Ce point de passage entre l'Écosse et l'Angleterre se trouve à proximité de l'ancienne voie romaine et constitue la frontière entre les deux pays depuis 700 ans.

Hadrian’s Wall - The wildest and most northerly frontier of the ancient Roman Empire. We follow the road that takes us along the south side of the wall, stopping at Steel Rigg. You have time to walk beside the wall and experience the isolation that Roman foot soldiers would have experienced as they guarded their empire from the ‘barbarians’ to the north.

* Entrance to Vindolanda Roman Army Museum (or Homesteads Roman Fort should Vindolanda be closed) included in the tour price. Vindolanda is one of Europe's most important Roman archaeological sites. Vindolanda means white lawns or white fields. We know that the Roman name for the fort was Vindolanda because of an altar set up by the civilians at Vindolanda to the god Vulcan which was found during drainage works in 1914. The altar is on display in the museum. The name Vindolanda has also been discovered on some of the writing tablets. (closed in January).

You'll have a short break in the Victorian spa town of Moffat, which attracted visitors in the 18th and 19th centuries seeking the health benefits of its mineral springs. The town is also famous for Moffat toffee, known for its unique buttery flavor and chewy texture. From Moffat, you'll travel north, past the Pentland Hills Regional Park on your way back to Edinburgh
