There’s a hidden Scotland, a hidden gem, that you can feel looking at the landscape from Sir Walter Scott’s View or visiting a tartan factory.

‘Washing, drying, milling, brushing, pressing and cropping’, you can read at the visitor center of Locharron Tartan, one of the Scottish Borders' most famous textile companies. And we can add: ‘Feeling, enjoying, walking, eating, resting, knowing and, why not, fishing.’ This is what the southern part of Scotland offers. And this is what I've just done on a two day trip along the Hadrian’s Wall.
