<p>Some years ago we visited the borders region of Scotland after hearing it praised in song:<br />
 The Rolling Hills of the Borders   by Matt McGinn<br />
 Chorus:<br />
 When I die, bury me low<br />
  Where I can hear the bonny Tweed flow;<br />
  A sweeter place I never did know,<br />
  The rolling hills o’ the borders.<br />
<br />
The Eldon Hills are just part of the regions attractiveness.  We had a wonderful stay at the Fauhope Country House, which is a secluded, award winning ‘5 star gold’ B&amp;B near Melrose in the heart of the Scottish Borders.</p>

Despite the early 2am alarm, it was a pleasure to venture out for my first sunrise in over two months the other day, and the breathtaking conditions made it all the more worthwhile. Over the last few years, I have developed a deep affection for these Southern Uplands of Scotland, exploring them thoroughly having spent a significant part of my life wandering Cumbria and the Lake District. It is refreshing to discover these new locales that, although just over the border, are still surprisingly close to home. I first reached the summit of Skelfhill Pen only a few months back, but I knew I would love to return for sunrise, and it seems I chose the perfect morning for it today. When I arrived at the summit just before dawn, a heavy blanket of clouds covered the sky, but they soon began to break apart, casting beautiful and dramatic crepuscular rays across the layered landscape. In this view, the nearby hill of Penchrise Pen stands silhouetted, as well as the outline of Rubers Law slightly further afield.</p>

<p>A common riding is an equestrian tradition mainly in the Scottish Borders. Also known as riding of the marches the tradition is still celebrated each summer. The town of Hawick is traditionally the start of the season of annual common ridings. Here we see a fine set of horses setting out from Hawick.  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Riding" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Riding</a></p>
