Melrose and Abbotsford
Another circular walk along the Tweed between Melrose and Abbotsford, both of which featured in earlier posts. Here are a few of the riverside views.

Kelso and Roxburgh
Once again, a circular riverside walk, though this time the river is the Teviot. Starting in Kelso, the confluence of the Tweed and the Teviot, we followed the latter past the ruins of Roxburgh Castle, built by King David I sometime in the 1120s. Reaching the village of Roxburgh, we crossed the river on an old railway viaduct then followed the line back to Kelso. Along the way, we got glimpses of Floors Castle and the striking white farmhouse, Maisondieu, once a medieval hospice.
