Scott's View is a viewpoint in the Scottish Borders, overlooking the valley of the River Tweed, which is reputed to be one of the favourite views of Sir Walter Scott.
The scenic view of Scott's View can be accessed by car from the B6404 on the road from St Boswells to Kelso and then turning off towards Dryburgh Abbey.
You will be able to come to the viewpoint from Melrose and St Boswells to admire the stunning view of the River Tweed and Eildon Hills. The hills serve as a reminder of the volcanic activity that once took place in the area.
The flat piece of land that lies within a loop in the river was once the site of the first Melrose Abbey, of which nothing remains today.
Close by, spanning the River Tweed is Leaderfoot Viaduct, also known as the Drygrange Viaduct, a railway viaduct over the River Tweed near Melrose in the Scottish Borders.
It stands 126 feet from the floor of the river valley. It was opened in November 1863 for the Berwickshire Railway. The line closed to passenger traffic on 13 August 1948.
