The lovely Dawyck Botanic Garden and arboretum, on 60 acres or 24 hectare of land that rises above the River Tweed near Stobo, south-west of Peebles in the Scottish Borders. It is the result of over 300 years of tree collecting. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/peebles/dawyckgarden/index.html #Scotland #ScottishBorders

The terrible trio on their way for an afternoon swim. A 60s rock band, Matti the Lab as the dark brooding bass player, Princess Nutnut the dizzy diva and Chai the Collie the joker in the pack #DogsOfMastodon #ScottishBorders #AltTxt

A well mabicutrd lawn that was a meadow until this yesterday(the surrounding land still is, but I needed some space for a couple of barbecues over the next few weeks with minimal fire damage). Much prep with a scythe. Very hot and I wouldn’t throw the ball for the dug. So he found a stick and he waited and waited and… Until I took him for a swim (with his ball) #BorderCollie #DogsOfMastodon #ScottishBorders

Collywobbles How to build your dugs confidence 😆 3 years ago and Síle thought this would demonstrate to the collie how safe the wobbly bridge was. It took him months to recover 🤣 full confidence back , but I have never shown him that famous footage of the Tacoma bridge going into oscillation. He now crosses it without any hesitation at least once a week. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XggxeuFDaDU&ra=m #BorderCollie #DogsOfMastodon #WobblyBridge #Bridge #Confidence #ShortVideo #ScottishBorders

Furry Elephant mornings A lovely walk with the dugs - you might be able to infer that the balls are just about to come out of the rucksack much to the interest of three members of the party. Elephants you ask? While the Collie and the poodle run quickly and silently The lab, lagging, sounds as though a baby elephant is late for breakfast. When we got back the bed was unmade. The kits don’t care - they can put up with a little slobbishness. #ScottishBorders #DogsOfMastodon #CatsOfMastodon

Lunchtime run A return to ‘normal’ temperatures so we got out from Harestanes, up and round the Waterloo Memorial and back. 9k, mainly tracks and my new shoes 🥳 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Monument The wiggly panorama created from a succession of single images, neither alcohol or tiredness were involved. #Running #BorderCollie #DogsOfMastodon #ScottishBorders #Panorama

It being summer and somewhat warm the pair I always walk in the morning (well until neighbours hip improves) get an afternoon swim - through th woods, to the river and back again, at the weekend anyway. There is some impatience… #DogWalking #DogsOfMastodon #Poodle #Labrador #BorderCollie #ScottishBorders #AltText

When it opened in 2018, the Borders Distillery in Hawick became the first (legal) whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837. It comes complete with the most visually impressive still room we've seen.

Morning walk You would never guess that I am taking a ball out of the rucksack! The third regular miscreant is buwy snuffling in the undergrowth behind me. Balls are not his passion, although one that squeaks is always welcomed. #Walking #DogWalk #DogsOfMastodon #BorderCollie #ScottishBorders

The magical little harbour at Cove near Cockburnspath in the Scottish Borders, one of the hidden gems of south-east Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/cockburnspath/cove/index.html #Scotland #Cove #Cockburnspath #ScottishBorders #Harbour

Dugs in the Mist Morning walk and the dugs emerge through the heavy morning mist when I took the balls out of my pack. #DogWalking #ScottishBorders #DogsOfMastodon
