Exploring Scotland's Heritage
Lothian and the Borders
A startling heritage of buildings and other monuments spanning fifty centuries, and remarkable for its range and richness, characterises the Border area. It has a long history of political and economic importance which is reflected in its architecture - from the grandeur of the mighty castles of East Lothian and the abbeys close to the border to magnificent industrial constructions like the Forth Railway Bridge and the Almond Aqueduct.
The palace at Linlithgow, the tower houses, peles and bastle-houses around Peebles, and the Coldstream Bridge in Berwickshire - all are products of their time, and give a fascinating insight into the very different societies which built them.
