“This gastro style pub is a great place for food within the cosy restaurant or a quick coffee at their recently opened café. The Sun Inn sits in view of Newbattle Viaduct, a grand piece of historic engineering that carries the Borders Railway line over the River South Esk in Newtongrange. The viaduct was re-opened in 2015 following the railway line being reinstated.”

“A large and sophisticated castle with a spectacular a facade of faceted stonework in an Italian Renaissance style. Mary Queen of Scots attended a wedding here. The courtyard is fully accessible. Access to areas leading from there depends on the visitor's mobility as each room and cellar has up to three steps leading to it. Carved stonework around fireplaces and doorways offers a hands-on experience. The castle is only open during the summer months and closed between October to March.”
