Bowhill House & Country Estate Joins the Consortia

The latest member to join the Visit Teed Valley website is the Scottish Borders home of the Duke of Buccleuch - Bowhill House - which displays an outstanding art collection with works by Canaletto, Claude, Raeburn, Reynolds, Gainsborough and Ruysdael. Its fine rooms display tapestries, superb French furniture, Sevres and Meissen china and silver. There are a variety of peaceful walks on offer as well as Adventure Playground for the young at heart. The Courtyard also has a range of interesting things to do and see - from a James Hogg Exhibition, Victorian Kitchen, Visitor Centre and Courtyard games, to a gift shop and Minstrel Tearoom - there is something for everyone. Bowhill also hosts an intimate 72-seater theatre transformed from the old Victorian Game Larder. Click here to visit the Bowhill page on the website.
