- We head deep into the heart of the Scottish borders to visit the beautiful town of Peebles in its idyllic setting on the banks of the River Tweed. Churches, Castles and the remains of an industrial past are all on our agenda as we check out this special wee town.
We also stop by The Great Polish Map Of Scotland, which is an amazing thing, a scale map of Scotland made out of concrete which shows every mountain, glen and river.

3:36 Head with wings symbolises:
"In the older cemeteries, tombstones have typically weathered badly and it's difficult to make out the inscriptions. However, the winged or flying skull is usually pretty easy to see. This signifies the fleetingness of life and the soul soaring into the afterlife. The flying hourglass is similar to the winged skull but it indicates the swiftness of time's passage.

Thanks for that, we thought it would be something like that. The imagery on these stones is fascinating.
Thanks for the tour..I was born and brought up in Peebles but now living in Italy.I really enjoyed revisiting the places I know well!
Glad we could take you back.
Interesting facts about the Bridge
Thank you.
Great outing. Thanks for bringing me along with you.
You’re welcome :)
This is truly great to see. As I'm a Peebles born in America. I have a Peebles history book that was put together in the 1990s. Goes all the way back to 1110 AD... David Edward Peebles was the first to come to America in 1645... Our family spread quickly, mostly on the east coast though. I really want to come visit my Homeland one day. Thank you so very much for sharing this video. May you be safe and blessed in all your travels.
Glad you enjoyed our wee video !
The map was impressive! 😮 Love the castles, the cemeteries, the views, the bridges! 👍🏼
The map is awesome. We’d love to know how they managed it without being able to see the whole thing from above.
Absolutely love the forest walks along with castles and graveyards!
Us too. Thanks for watching.
One of my favorite episodes, love the drone footage and the cemetery, beautiful buildings. Thanks for all the effort you three put into these videos for us.
Thank you!! We do love a graveyard :)
Love your channel! Your commentary is funny yet informative, and your videography is wonderful. Keep it up, because I have no doubt your channel is going to be very popular.
Thank you!! It’s already exceeded what we were expecting :)
Another great Vlog. Happy Birthday deNiro.
I love going on these tours with you and sweet Dinero,he is such a good boy! Peebles is a lovely place.
It is, we love it
I loved the drone footage of the cemetery and the map of Scotland was awesome. ❤️
Thank you, we love a good cemetery.
I love old graveyards. One of my favorite things to do is try to find the oldest stone there. But that map was awesome!
We love old graveyards but yep, that map!!
Hello guys great wee video as always 👌👏Peebles looks like a nice wee place. Take care and stay safe ❤❤
It’s a really pretty wee town, we love it.
Thank you for showing us around. I have seen you on Dirty Secrets of Scotland and Living the Skye Life.
Thanks for coming along.
great fun beautiful town
Thank you, it really is.
I knew it would be worth the wait! I think this might be my favorite episode yet; Peebles has truly moved into first place on my dream itinerary. I'm not sure why it draws me in so much, but I really want to visit.
I would like to get a peek at Mabel's accommodations during your excursions. I'd love to see the kind of places you find. I love car/van/truck camping.
Peebles is definitely worth a visit. We’ll show you some of the nice places we stop in future :)
@@scotlandonashoestring Excellent, I'll enjoy that 🩷
👍
The very first time my surname "Bowers" popped up in history was Peebles. Just curious if it is a name that still exists there? Beautiful place!
We'll keep an eye out for it.
Really enjoy your channel 😊 What is it about War Memorials that Beks doesn't like or why is it you try to avoid them?
It's just that I *do* tend to go on about them.. a bit :)
