Walk to the Wallace Statue & Scott’s View

A gentle woodland trail from the estate leads to the towering sandstone statue of William Wallace — a hidden gem kids love to “discover.” Follow the path further to Scott’s View, where the Eildon Hills unfold like a painting.

Explore Dryburgh Abbey & Have a Riverside Picnic

Let little imaginations run wild among the medieval ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, just below the estate. Bring a picnic to enjoy by the River Tweed — it’s peaceful, photogenic, and easy walking distance.
