Borders Heritage Week 2011: H2O

Neidpath Castle Open for Heritage Week 2011

Date: 10 September 2011

Duration: Until 18/9/11

From the source to the sea, Heritage Week in the
Scottish Borders offers a host of activities and
venues to explore and enjoy. Water is the life-blood
of the Borders. Prehistoric hunters and gatherers
followed the Borders rivers in search of food;
farmers across time have depended on even the
most minor of burns for their crops; and the sea
has always been a source of food, transport and a
connection to the wider world. In more recent
times, our rivers have powered the textile industry;
provided a drinking supply to Edinburgh; and
supported an internationally renowned fishing
industry. Heritage week this year celebrates our
human connections with our rivers and the
spectacular coast.
