Morning takes us to Hadrian’s Wall & Housesteads Roman Fort in Greenhead. After viewing the siting and landscape, it’s easy to understand the significance of the wall’s fortifications. Next stop is Jedburgh Abbey, then north to Traquar House and brewery. The brewery is one of the oldest in the UK and still brews a classic ‘Special Ale’ which we sample at the hotel in town.
As we cross the border into Scotland there is much evidence of the upcoming vote on breaking away from the UK.
Our hotel in Edinburgh is a short bus ride from the old town and historic sites & pubs.
