Upper Tweeddale National Scenic Area, Protected area in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom
The Upper Tweeddale spans 12,770 hectares of land along the River Tweed, featuring rounded hills, woodlands, and agricultural landscapes.
In 1978, Upper Tweeddale received official recognition as a National Scenic Area, replacing earlier landscape protection measures established after World War II.
The region maintains traditional farming practices and agricultural heritage, with numerous historic structures including Stobo, Neidpath, and Tinnis castles.
The John Buchan Way provides 22 kilometers of walking paths through the area, connecting the towns of Broughton and Peebles.
The River Tweed system within the area supports five protected species: salmon, brook lamprey, river lamprey, sea lamprey, and otters.
