Whether you’re an experienced rider eager to pop over a few cross country jumps or a beginner wishing to improve your skills in an awe-inspiring yet safe environment, rest assured, this ride will exceed your expectations. Discover the beautiful landscapes of the Scottish Borders countryside, from wild, windy moors to postcard-worthy farmland criss-crossed with ancient stone walls. Your equestrian guide, Susy is providing a strong team of horses, and all abilities are catered for on this horse riding trip.

You’ll be staying in the South Wing of the Castle, which consists of eight bedrooms split into five apartments and has been finished to a five-star standard with exceptional views of the parkland and estate. You’ll also have the opportunity to dine in the Castle’s portrait-lined State Dining Room and the rustic Victorian Kitchen, looked after by our award-winning caterers. Each castle apartment also has its own kitchen and sitting room should you wish to relax and make yourself a cup of tea after a long day in the saddle or sight-seeing around the spectacular Scottish Borders.

*Insider’s Fact – European Champion Glenburnie, who was bred by the Maitland family at the castle, is named after the moor above the 16th-century building. He was ridden to victory by Borders equestrian Ian Stark in 1991 in the individual and team eventing competitions.
