Exclusive Bowhill House Tour

"When Summer Smiled on Sweet Bowhill"

Sir Walter Scott and Bowhill have a close connection.  Not only did he base the Lay of the Last Minstrel at the estate, he was also a close friend and kinsmen of the Duke of Buccleuch.

Discover more about Bowhill House, the hidden treasure of the Scottish Borders, on an Exclusive Guided Tour.  You will discover the world renowned art collection, a fascinating family history, and of course - the Scott Room, a room dedicated to Sir Walter Scott.  

Tours are available Friday to Monday from 30th July to the end of August. They run at 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm and also include access to the grounds and front gardens.  Tours are for small groups only – a maximum of 6 people from 3 households. 

Tours cost £36 (to include 3 people), with up to 3 additional visitors at £12 each.

Booking is essential here.

We look forward to welcoming you.
