Peebles

Copyright © noel.moore@gmail.com All comments and questions are welcome.

 

Peebles is in the middle of its annual festival. Events include horse riding and show jumping and Scottish dancing.

 

 

 

Veitch's store in the Main Street of Peebles has now been closed for a number of years, however the name still has pride of place on the facard.

We did the sky-line drive outside Peebles through unfenced valleys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another photo on the skyline road near Peebles. Scotland is geologically very young compared to Australia. This glacial valley has a series of distinct glacial terraced down each side of the valley.

 

Castle Venlaw was a great stay for 2 nights. Full of old world charm, a great restaurant menu and wine list, and great service.

Is is located just down the road from the Venlaw B&B where Lenore and I stayed about 4 years ago. We would recommend it to anyone.
