The stunning Views as you descend into the valley which contains the Reservoir is quite breathtaking and considered one of the best views anywhere in Scotland. Talla Reservoir, located a mile from Tweedsmuir, Scottish Borders, Scotland, is an earth-work dam fed by Talla Water. It was opened in 1899
Talla ReservoirThe Grey Mare’s Tail Nature reserve is best known for its magnificent waterfall – the fifth highest in the UK – and uniquely dramatic scenery. The tumbling waters from Loch Skeen high above cascade down the ancient rocks as the features of this incredible hanging valley gradually unfold.

Gretna Green is a village in the south of Scotland famous for runaway weddings. It is in Dumfries and Galloway, near the mouth of the River Esk and was historically the first village in Scotland, following the old coaching route from London to Edinburgh. Today Gretna Green is one of the world's most popular wedding destinations, hosting over 5,000 weddings each year and one of every six Scottish weddings.
Gretna GreenMark and Lesley are both former history teachers who are from the area and it really reflected in the tour - they are an eager wealth of knowledge and lovely people. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone wanting a tour in Scotland.
