A peel tower at Smailholm, around five miles (8 km) west of Kelso. Its dramatic situation, atop a crag of Lady Hill, commands wide views over the surrounding countryside. The tower is located at grid reference NT637346, just west of Sandyknowe farm, and is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of Historic Scotland. In June, 2007 it was awarded the maximum "five-star" status as a tourist attraction from VisitScotland, a rating bestowed on only eight other sites in Scotland.

Visit a place that inspired Sir Walter Scott. Ancestors of the great Romantic novelist had called the tower home, and Scott learned the power of border ballads as a young infant living on the estate. What to see and do Take in the completeness of the 15th-century laird’s residence – the four-storey tower house remains roofed and floored See the foundations of the outer hall and kitchen next to the tower Get up close to the substantial enclosure wall – a mighty defence with its walls 2m deep View the Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border exhibition – to see how Smailholm, Sir Walter Scott and his Minstrelsy are linked Try to spot Bamburgh Castle, over the border in Northumberland, from the battlements Call in at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, the final resting place of Sir Walter Scott
