Car Hire along the Scottish border

 
     
 

The borders . . . Roman temples, rolling country and wild woods with eagles and deer. Little bit of heaven really, and if the old song says "the Garden of Eden is lost now they say, but I know the lay of it still . . ." well it's here, on the West coast, round the lovely old town of Carlisle, and the Eden Valley.

So start on the East side of England, in old Northumbria, pick up a car in Newcastle, or even as far South as Teeside, at the international airport, and go North to Hadrian's Wall. From there you can idle across the Tweed Valley staying in charming towns and villages.

If you are a literature buff you can visit the grave of Edie Ochiltree in Roxburgh, or if history interests you there's William Wallace's memorial at Dryburgh, with the words:

"Peerless knight of Elderslie
Who waved on Ayr's romantic shore
the beamy light of Liberty,
and roaming round from sea to sea,
from glade obscure to gloomy rock,
his bold companions call'd to free
the realm from Edward's iron yoke."

 
 




Car hire in UK and more . . .  

 

You can ponder on how this brave heart died, and the bloody, truculent history of this beautiful land. Then again, you could just take the kids for a roam in the wild woods and try to spot an otter, or keep a respectful distance from "auld wise Brock" the badger. And you can get to Eden, honest.

To sample it take your hire car and look around the place. Our "Quote and pick" system will provide you with the car and the cost that suits you best.
