This fascinating program takes us on a
journey following the course of the River Tweed. Starting at its
source from The Tweed's Well and following its progress down towards
Peebles and the borders. From there we double back taking in the
sights along the Yarrow Water stopping at Selkirk and Kelso, before
reaching the mouth of the river at Berwick Upon Tweed. With
breathtaking aerial views of the river as it journeys from its
spectacular moor land birthplace by the Devil's Beeftub we take in
many of Scotland's important landmarks such as Melrose Abbey, Stobo
Castle, Newark Castle and the birthplace of writer James Hogg, also
known as the Ettrick Shepherd.
