Beautiful view-- be sure to bring a bit of Sir Walter's writing to read
Sep 2019
This was a favorite view of Sir Walter Scott and as others have stated his funeral procession stopped on it's way for one last glimpse of this beautiful countryside.

Just a few moments to revel in the Scottish countryside.

Beautiful Scott's View
Aug 2019
This beautiful countryside is hard to describe as it is equal to any view in all of Scotland. The side story of Scott's funeral procession horse drawn hearse, pausing one last time for Scott to enjoy the view is completely understandable!

Spectacular views
Aug 2019
I was amazed by the views. There are helpful information plaques providing additional information. My husband had hiked there earlier the same day, and thoroughly enjoyed his walk.

Brilliant view of the Eildon hills
Aug 2019
When you visit, particularly early morning - you get the sun on the Eildon Hills with the Tweed below. Can understand why it was Sir Walter Scott's favourite view. Go as part of your Border tour. No place can beat the scenery

Great view!

What a breathtaking view of the border area. We were lucky enough to visit a friend of ours that live in Jedburgh and he more than willingly showed us around the border area. When we drove up to Scott`s view we almost lost our breath by this wonderful green lush view, Our friend told us it would be even more green and wonderful if we had visited a bit later (we were there in the beginning of april.) The border area is so beautiful!

I've lived around these parts all my life, and I still stop here for a few minutes every single time I pass. This is one of the most stunning views to be found anywhere in the world!

This area of the Borders in Scotland is quite beautiful and I make a point of visiting Scott's View whenever possible. Try to also visit Selkirk, which is near the View.

Great views to be had , there is a gate you can go through and walk down the slope but its not for the disabled as the path is not good .
