The history of a Scottish town's creepy tunnel that turned into thrill-seeker attraction

Nestled in the Scottish Borders is the charming town of Peebles, which is popular amongst tourists headed to the south of the country.

Among its highlights are the ruins of Cross Kirk, its yearly Beltane festival, and the Peebles Hydro hotel, which originally opened in 1881 to provide water cures and hydrotherapy remedies to visitors.

Neidpath Castle is another popular attraction around one mile west of the town. Overlooking the River Tweed, the unspoilt 14th century keep can be viewed by appointment and even booked out for events.
