Set against the backdrop of the Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders, our home for the weekend is whitewashed Tweedford Cottage, in a section of wilderness as bewitching as ever we needed. Although only an hour from Edinburgh, this rugged landscape of vertiginous hills feels remote. With an abundance of wild walks on the doorstep, it’s the ideal dog-friendly bolthole for a group seeking solace.
The rural romance of the region has been a source of inspiration for poets and painters for centuries, from JMW Turner to Sir Walter Scott and James Thomson. And here we are, searching for “some touch of Nature’s genial glow” as Scott described.
