Thanks to the rolling hills and moorland in the west, which gradually turn to gentler valleys and high agricultural plains in the east, the Scottish Borders can boast some of the most varied produce in Scotland. This region is also home to a number of great events and festivals, not to mention foodie attractions. The Borders Banquet is a 10-day feast of events in cafes and restaurants in the some of the region’s most picturesque locations. Held in November, this annual culinary feast is enjoyed by visitors and local residents alike. Enjoy the fresh seasonal produce used in everything from gourmet dining to afternoon tea.
The Southern Uplands are sheep-rearing country. Borders lamb, traditionally from the Cheviot breed, is highly regarded, and you’ll find it featured on the menus of local inns and restaurants.

Another award-winning brewers, set in the grounds of a large Borders house. Traquair’s main claim to fame is that it’s the oldest inhabited house in Scotland, while the brewery is the only one in Britain to use exclusively oak-fermenting vessels, so contributing to the ales’ characteristic qualities. Brewing was begun here in the 18th century, then restarted in the 20th after a 160-year hiatus. The brewery’s most famous beer is the smooth, dark, almost porter-like Traquair House Ale, popular in export and home markets. You can visit the brewery and house throughout the year.
