Ogilvie Trail – Kelso to Melrose

This tour is 22.58 miles long, please allow at least 42 minutes to complete it, excluding the time taken to enjoy the destinations along the way.

The trail starts from the Millenium Viewpoint at the top of the town
with wonderful views of Kelso Bridge and the town.

You will get the chance to hear the poems while looking at the views that inspired them. Much of the countryside is quite remote. The roads are quiet and often single track. By following these routes you will not only get to know and love Ogilvie’s poetry but also see beautiful parts of the Scottish Borders unseen by most visitors.
