Tweed Green, Peebles, Borders, Scotland

Peebles not only is a pleasant spot that had pretensions as a spa town in former times but it also is surrounded by plenty of hills as you'll see in other photos in this album. It remains a genteel place on the banks of the river Tweed, which you can glimpse through the trees in the photo. Somewhat amazingly, I never gave the place a visit when I lived in Edinburgh. My only explanation for this is that Scotland's capital city was too delightful to leave unless I was heading out for a trip to the Highlands. That now looks like a pity when I realise what Peebles has to offer and I redressed the oversight twice since leaving Edinburgh. However, looking again at these photos, I feel that the place needs another visit after not being there for a few years.
