For the fisherman, the river Tweed has a deserved reputation as one of the world's great salmon fisheries. Since the 17th century, anglers have been sport fishing the river for its famous run of salmon. Roxburghshire is also home to the Roxburghe Estate and Floors Castle, the largest inhabited castle in Scotland and home to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. Here you can enjoy an extensive range of estate activities including exclusive access to prime Salmon fishing beats on the river Tweed, clay shooting, horse riding, cycling, guided walks and 4 x4 driving plus the Roxburghe Championship Golf Course which provides a challenge for golfers of all abilities.

Don't leave the county though without first taking in Hermitage Castle. This vast and eerie ruin, dating from 14th and 15th centuries, is associated with the de Soulis, the Douglases and Mary Queen of Scots. It was partly restored in the 19th century and is ripe for visitor exploration. Nearby is the equally fascinating 14th-century Hermitage Chapel.
