We're stepping back from X for now, but don’t worry - the adventure continues on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. See you there! 🌍✨

The first frost has kissed #Edinburgh's cobblestones, and the festive lights are twinkling above our historic streets. Dare we say, it's beginning to feel (a little) like #Christmas! ❄️ How's the weather in your corner of the world? Feeling festive yet? ✨

We’re thrilled to see our #StCuthbertsWay walking holiday recognised as one of Europe’s top 10 #pilgrimage routes by @TelegraphTravel! 🎉 This stunning journey takes walkers from Melrose Abbey in Scotland to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in England. 😍 telegraph.co.uk/travel/activit…

Had some great tastes while in #Orkney September’23. Really enjoyed our afternoon tour @Kirkjuvagr_Gin with Steve. Great to see they’ve got their whisky going now too. @HighlandPark was a quicker visit but we felt very welcome. #VisitOrkney 🥃Thx @AbsoluteEscapes

The Yorkshire Dales are calling! 🏞️ With #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall back for season 5 on @channel5_tv & @PBS, interest in our #HerriotWay walking holiday is soaring! 📺 Are you watching the new season, a fan of the original, or James Herriot's memoirs? 📚 @AllCreaturesTV

@Trisha_the_doc do you by any chance know any nice B&Bs in Melrose? Need somewhere to stay at the start of St Cuthbert’s Way next year.
