All about Peebles

About an hour south of Edinburgh, the town of Peebles is characterized by its magnificent rolling green hills, from the Moorfoot Hills in the north to Dun Rig in the south. The landscape here is vast and dotted with pockets of woodland, including pine and larch. The high street in Peebles is lined with traditional stone buildings, and the 500-year-old market cross stands tall in the middle of the square to remind visitors of its importance as a market town and its history as a royal burgh.

The imposing crown spire of the 19th-century Peebles Old Church dominates the heart of the city beside the many arches of Tweed Bridge. The bridge dates back hundreds of years and crosses the River Tweed, which runs through the centre of town, offering riverside walks and parks, including Victoria Park and Hay Lodge Park. Peebles enjoys a thriving arts scene centred on the Eastgate Theatre and Arts Centre, which is housed in a former church.
