Ettrickbridge and The Border Reivers
from The Tweed Valley Blogger Podcast · host Stewart Wilson
Join me (Tweed Valley Blogger) on a walk into the past at the charming Borders village of Ettrickbridge. I go in search of stories of Auld Wat Scott of Harden, ancestor of Sir Walter Scott and an infamous Border Reiver. I explore the village and hike out to Scott's old stronghold, Kirkhope Tower, now lovingly restored as a private residence. Along the way I discuss Scott's story, and the lawless times he lived in, as well as bringing it bang up to date with the village's award winning pub, The Cross Keys Inn. Join me to learn more about this fascinating period in Borders history. Support my Podcast on Ko-Fi Kirkhope Tower Circular Walking Route The Cross Keys Ettrickbridge
