Finally getting to travel to Scotland!

[Kanati]

Denholm is only five miles from my home here in Hawick.
Let me know when you will be here and I will see if it will be possible to arrange some sightseeing for you.
If you want some do-it-yourself sightseeing you should be able to borrow the keys of Fatlips Castle from Oliver's Garage adjacent to Denholm Village Green. I believe there is a £10 deposit of which you get £5 back when you return the key and the other £5 goes towards the upkeep of the castle. You need to be reasonably fit as although the castle is not far from the road, the approach to it is a fairly steep and rough path through woodland.

"Fatlips Castle"
I am going to have to put this on my list for my trip later this year. This meets the requirements of a truly " off the beaten path" experience.
