Great to get the official Walkhighlands thumbs-up for the Cross Borders Drove Road, a stunning four- to five-day route that passes through some of the Tweed Valley's most scenic and historic landscapes.

Plenty of facilities and outdoor supplies available too, including from the likes of Out & About and Trespass (both Peebles), plus FINDRA Clothing, just off the route in lovely Innerleithen.

Come and give it a try 💚

We've had a visitor get in touch to say that she lost a dark green dry bag while on the Tweed Valley Canoe Trail, paddling between Glenkinnon and Abbotsford. The bag contains several items of important valuables. If anyone has any information or has fished the bag out of the river, please get in touch with our visitor centre and we'll coordinate collection and return to its owner.

We were delighted to welcome the fabulous The Maclean Brothers as headline speakers at the 2026 Wild Writers Festival at the Eastgate Theatre earlier in this year.

For those who were there in person, that book they mentioned is now out in the wild, published by Canongate Books 💚🙂

People keep asking why we’d row across the Pacific with our siblings. Also, why we keep going on about peanut butter.

So we wrote a book to explain ourselves.

Three Brothers in a Boat - published by the wonderful - available to preorder now through the link in our bio.

Have you met Ingrid Campbell and Tweed Valley Wilding yet? If not, you really should!

Connecting people with the outdoors (and each other), Ingrid offers a range of wild swim adventures, guided walks and nature connection experiences throughout the Tweed Valley.

She's also a bit of a tv star having featured recently on the latest series of Jules & Greg's Wild Swim! Ask nicely and you'll probably get an autograph 🙂💚

We were chuffed last week to welcome a Californian couple who had travelled over to paddle the Tweed Valley Canoe Trail.

Regulars to Scotland, our US visitors read about the trail in Mike MacEacheran's fabulous piece in the The Guardian a couple of years ago – and decided they had to give it a go.

We can't wait to catch up with Craig from Biggar Adventure about their time together on the Tweed, and hopefully welcome many more international visitors to our mighty river this season.

For more on the trail, including staying safe and the Paddler's Code, check out our dedicated canoe trail pages:
