Sunset from Barony Castle
We took advantage of an offer to stay at the Barony Castle hotel in Eddleston for a couple of nights. I have always underestimated the Scottish Borders area always heading North West to break free from the city.
Frostbitten hills
On our way back home, though, the clear blue skies and heavy frost and light snow provided stunning scenery to make us change our minds! We deliberately took a detour to enjoy the scenery on offer. Whilst not as rugged or as stunning, in my view, as the North West of Scotland, it’s certainly pretty and scenic.
Stobo Castle
We made a stop at Stobo Castle in Peeblesshire for lunch and then went for a walk around the grounds, to find the fishing lake completely frozen over, which provided lovely photo opportunities.
