Magnificent Southern Scotland
The main towns in the region of Southern Scotland are Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Each of these cities are worth a visit in their own right. Because of its situation, Southern Scotland has seen the most battles between Scottish and English armies in Scotland. However, the wars have long since ceased and left Southern Scotland a place of peace and natural beauty.
There is much to see and do in Scotland - both natural and historical. For example, you could visit the castles such as Castle Campbell, Floors Castle and Caerlaverock Castle. Or you could visit the River Tweed during fishing season as the River is famous for its abundance of salmon. Other popular attractions in the region are the various abbeys and ruins. You might try Jedburgh, Melrose, Dryburgh and Glenluce Abbeys.
To the North there lies Loch Lomond. It is naturally rugged and beautiful and is a great place to relax and unwind. To the South-West of the region, you'll find Dumfries and Galloway. Because this area is so close to the Gulf Stream, it is much warmer than the rest of Scotland. This has resulted in especially green and lush vegetation. There are some fabulous gardens worth visiting in the area. In the East of Southern Scotland you'll find St Andrews - a golfers dream.
If you are planning a trip to Southern Scotland, you'd better be planning a long one. There is so much to see and do that you'll find yourself enjoying every second and wanting more. Between bustling cities, magnificent ruins and beautiful wildlife reserves, there is no shortage of sights to appeal to all tastes. You can be sure that a trip to Southern Scotland will be a memorable one.

I'm looking for a place where my grandmother was born and raised, it's near Ballachulish Ferry and looking over the dark waters of Loch Leven towards Sgurr Dhonuill from the grounds of the Loch Leven Hotel. I realize that maybe these names have changed, but can you get me to the place I'm talking about with new names or any information you have? Thank You for your time I so want to be somewhere close to where my Gram was born when we come over. Debbie
