This fine view conveys the delightful rural setting of Peebles in the Scottish Borders!

The scene looks southeast and shows Peebles, a scenic ancient town of character that lies on the River Tweed. It's nestled below the rolling Tweedsmuir Hills of the Southern Uplands, which rise to over 2000 ft (610m).

The view is taken from the pleasant Old Cross Borders Drove Road as it climbs the shoulder of the 1,217 foot (371 m) high Hamilton Hill
