The small border town of Duns is set in a wide valley known as The Merse and was once the capital of the Scottish Borders, when the current capital, Berwick-upon-Tweed, was under English rule. The town offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst the Jim Clark Museum is open to the public in honour of the famous racing driver who lived in the area.
From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain's best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Reviews of Courtyard Cottage
"We have just returned from a week in this comfortable cottage with probably the most amazing views we've ever had at a holiday home. The owners have taken a lot of effort to make the bungalow as comfortable as possible (great beds, with good quality linen and towels). The kitchen has everything you need and the lounge is so cosy with an open fire. You could just sit and look at the view all day. The games room is a fab addition. Great walking and the 2 acre paddock next to the cottage is great for exercising your dog. Duns is 10 mins in the car and about 30 mins to the coast or inland to Melrose. I thoroughly recommend this place to stay if you want a rural location but not far in the car for places to see."
