The woodland walk trail is home to many creatures including tawny owls and red squirrels, as well as mature oak trees. The talk will take around an hour and starts in front of the castle and finishes at the cafe. 

The riverside walk is along the banks of the river tweed, and you'll see herons, plvers and much more. You may even catch the family of otters sunbathing! On your way round you'll see the sheep and cattle graze and it'll take about an hour to complete the full walk.
