Welcome to The Tweed Valley Blogger Podcast, with your host Stewart Wilson AKA Tweed Valley Blogger. I'm a tour guide and blogger living and working in The Scottish Borders. This podcast aims to shine a light on this often overlooked region of Scotland, giving you a bite sized taste of what the area has to offer. We delve into the history of the borders, and I also bring it right up to date with recommendations on things to see and experience in the 21st century.
