Scottish Borders on the screen Your guide to film and TV locations in south east Scotland Scottish Borders on the Screen Like its landscape, the Scottish Borders has a rich and dramatic history of film and TV productions, from Oscar-nominated period dramas to fantasy sci-fi thrillers, ghost stories to comedy dramas. With ‘set-jetting’ a growing trend and more and more film fans visiting the locations of their favourite movies, this map celebrates Scottish Borders on the screen. Let us take you on a journey through the Scottish Borders to re-live some of your favourite movie moments. Scottish Borders From the rolling hills and moorland in the west to the gentle valleys and rocky cliffs of the Berwickshire coastline in the east, the Scottish Borders covers around 1,800 square miles only a little over an hour from Edinburgh and Newcastle upon Tyne. The tranquillity of the magnificent hills and lush forests, action-packed outdoor activities and enthralling history that features bloody battles, magnificent castles and literary greats, make the Scottish Borders a unique and fascinating destination. Getting Around Getting to the Scottish Borders couldn’t be easier. From September 2015, the Borders Railway will connect Edinburgh to Tweedbank, bringing the heart of the Scottish Borders within an hour of Scotland’s capital by rail. By road four major trunk routes stretch across the region: the A1 in the east, A7 and A68 in the central Borders and A697 from the south.
