Peebles

Peebles, in the Scottish Borders, takes its name from the Celtic word, pebyll, meaning tent or rough shelter. It's a bit more sophisticated now, but you can still pitch your tent at one of the campsites in the area.

Tweed Bridge


Peebles stands on the River Tweed, which is popular with salmon fishers.
(I sound like a geography book!)

On the Banks of the Tweed

A perfect place to rest awhile on a bench and admire the view.
