Welcome to the Out and About section
In this section you can find information about the Borders Region: statistics, places to visit, and things to do. There is also information about how to get here, and travel information on road closures.
The 'Welcome to the Scottish Borders' guide is available here!
The guide is aimed at people from overseas who want to live and work in the Scottish Borders. It also serves as a great introduction to the region for anybody from out with the area.
