The Glen Café at Loch of the Lowes

Weavers and Reivers (115 miles)

This is short day tour taking in some of the Borders most scenic valleys and rivers and crossing over into Dumfries and Galloway region.

Starting from Whitmuir Hall we pass through Selkirk for a fuel stop if required.  From Selkirk we head west towards Moffat for a (possible) refreshment stop and leg stretch.  Moffat has a fine wide main street with some interesting shops (try the Moffat Toffee) and an unusual statue of a ram, a tribute to the area’s textile and knitwear industry.

From Moffat we take a series of unclassified roads to Eskdalemuir.  For those who haven’t visited on another of our half day tours, we stop at the Samye Ling Buddhist Temple for refreshments and a leg stretch.   

Next we head for Hermitage Castle, a Borders’ stronghold with a violent and bloody history, we stop here for a leg stretch and a look around. Carrying on, we go to Hawick, famous for woollens, especially Cashmere. 

Staying on the A7 north through Hawick (notice the imposing Reiver’s statue on the High Street) we return north to Whitmuir Hall.

Please note that we have much more information including prices available on our CD and considerably much more when you make your booking, the above information is just a taster!

General Information

The theme of all our tours on Scotland's country roads is for a relaxed and unhurried trip, taking in local scenery and points of interest.  The nature of the roads on our chosen trips does not encourage "speeding bullets" so we're promoting a sedate, leisurely introduction to the Borders. 

Reivers and Weavers can be incorporated into the two day Borders Brace or merged with any of our other half day tours. 

Prices for individual or joint tours are available on enquiry; accommodation options and costs can also be made available on request, if required.

For information on bike/equipment hire and other conditions of the tours, please refer to our Motorcycle Tours home page.

Discounts for private groups of 2 or more includes pillion passengers
