Fascinating to see preps underway for the much-anticipated return of ospreys to the Tweed Valley in a few weeks time.

And don't forget, the highs and lows of another osprey season can be followed via the excellent Tweed Valley Osprey Project, while an osprey spotting map is available from the Forestry and Land Scotland Wildlife Hub at Glentress, just outside Peebles - a place for wildlife watchers as well as mountain bikers and walkers 💚🌿

Some very happy early birds on the Tweed Valley Canoe Trail this year - paddlers who bike and bikers who paddle! And very well looked after by the fine hosts of Cleikum Mill Lodge in Innerleithen 🙂💚🙂

We had our first group of paddlers of 2025 depart yesterday having spent the weekend on the Tweed Valley Canoe Trail.*

"Graham, thank you for our stay. The accommodation was ideal for our needs. Whilst trip was about paddling the Tweed, we are all bikers too, so will be back in the future. Thank you it really was great accommodation."

In the heart of the Tweed Valley is Innerleithen High St.
Where adventures start and energy is replenished. 🍕☕🍽️🥤🍪🍷🍺

*Details of the canoe trail are on the Go Tweed Valley website , local company Biggar Adventure can take you paddling on the Tweed.

Weekends in the Tweed Valley just got even cheerier thanks to Alex and Laura at the GOLFIE KITCHEN at Innerleithen Golf Club. ⛳

The Argentinian couple are our latest Foodie Champions, and it was fascinating to hear their philosophy on food, family and fishing when we got together with them at the clubhouse recently.

You can read all about their new venture in our latest website Story. And if in search of a hearty breakfast or lunch, tasty cakes and bakes or a traditional Sunday roast to fuel your weekend, their kitchen doors are open to all every Fri to Mon (8.30am to 4pm).

(If walking, there's a lovely loop possible from Innerleithen High Street - do check out all the independent shops - and back via sections of the old Mill Lade.)

📣 Tickets on sale on Tuesday 25th Feb at 12 Noon only at durtybrewing.com 📣

Alan Hinkes OBE is the first Briton to climb the world's highest mountains. These are the fourteen 8,000m peaks, all of which are in the 'death zone', where human survival rate is measured in hours. They are the most dangerous mountains on the planet. Alan is part of an exclusive club of only 12 people alive who have achieved this feat, which is the same number of people who have stood on the moon. Many have perished attempting this challenge.

Alan's next big challenge is to sample all the Durty Brewing beers whilst telling you all about his feats. Not to be missed.

Fancy putting your business name to a high-profile new mountain bike trail here in the Tweed Valley? Then check out this fantastic idea from the Tweed Valley Trails Association

DMBinS Discover South Scotland - Scotland Starts Here VisitScotland South of Scotland Destination Alliance

TVTA have an exciting new trail in the pipeline. A much needed one. With the recent success of opening Flat White, which saw a huge increase in rider numbers. We have decided to offer project sponsorship for a new track to 4 x businesses. As part of the sponsorship, each business will have :

🚲 A sign posted “trail sponsored by….”

🚲 Regular collab Vlogs, posts & reels throughout the build process and first runs on completion.

🚲 Active participation in the build stages through volunteer & team building days.

🚲 Business name on Trailforks.

Given the positive impact to the local economy, we feel this would be the ideal opportunity for any business looking to support the trails which underpin so much of our community. We invite any interested parties to get in touch via PM or email - [email protected]

If visiting the Tweed Valley during the February break, keep an eye out for these beauties ...

Otters can be elusive creatures, but a number have recently been spotted playing along the banks of the River Tweed at dawn and dusk. A very special treat 💚

Great to see that this latest section of active travel, shared-use path - part of Destination Tweed UK's new River Tweed Trail - has now been largely completed. A short section but another important one in the heart of Peebles.

Launching in 2028, and connecting communities, businesses and attractions along the river from Moffat to Berwick-upon-Tweed, it's a whopper of a project - with local residents invited to an open information session and consultation to discuss the designs for a further section in Peebles that continues into the town's beautiful Hay Lodge Park.

The session will be held at the Go Tweed Valley visitor information centre on Thur 6 March between 2pm and 7pm.
