Lord Steel launched the Ettrick and Yarrow Valley Tourism Group’s booklet on walks in the valleys at Bowhill House at the end of last month. The guide to 19 walks of varying lengths and difficulty in the area is the year-old group’s first project.
Lord Steel described it as “absolutely terrific”. The tourism operators are distributing the 1,000 copies around the valleys and in Selkirk. And they hope to make the booklet available to download on a new promotional website about the valleys they plan to launch next month.
