Welcome!

This blog is to introduce you to my town - Peebles, in the Scottish Borders - just one photo at a time, with perhaps a little description and maybe some history thrown in. I hope you will find it interesting. The title comes from a historical comment made by someone who preferred Peebles to the great and famous cities. I know how they felt. It's always a pleasure to return here however long you've been away.

If you want to make a comment, ask me a question, or merely just want to say "hello, I've dropped in", you can do that by using the comment section below each entry. (Just click on the word COMMENT and follow instructions. ) I'd love to know what you think of what you see of my town.

I don't have an expensive elaborate camera so the photo quality may not be brilliant, but I'd like to think my pics will please you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to Mary H for the lovely designs I used for my background, and thanks too to all of you who have chosen to support my blog by becoming "followers".

This picture was unfortunately taken into the sun, because I love the view and because the clouds were wonderful, but I hope it will enlarge when you click it to see the view closer up!
It's the view towards Peebles from the north of the town, with the hills to the south and on either side of the valley of the Eddleston Water.
Do you see the scarecrow over the hedge? The white farm in the distance is Chapelhill Farm and there are a few of the buildings of the town in the distance, above the scarecrow's right arm - I presume he's facing Peebles direction!
