Inland, the Lammermuir Hills are a picturesque setting for many small towns and villages, where the pace of life seems to have slowed to a gentle stroll rather than the customary gallop of modern day living. Duns, Coldstream – famous for the military regiment of the same name – and Melrose with its famous abbey, would be classified as the larger towns in this area. To the south, the river Tweed forms the boundary with England and was a favourite haunt of the romantic poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott.
The coastal villages and towns offer other backdrops for your romantic alliance, and vary from small harboured villages and old fishing communities, to larger towns with more modern commercial facilities. Whether your wish is to be wed in a border castle, stately home or something more homely, Berwickshire is sure to have the venue to meet your needs.
