Six on Saturday #2

Oh, the places we’ll go!

I have a list of places in the Scottish Borders that I’ve been meaning to visit. It’s the typical scenario of not doing “touristy” things when they’re right on your doorstep. With the potential for a move growing I feel like we should be doing these sooner rather than later. Here’s my quick list: Isle…
