What's on in The Scottish Borders in June 2019
With reports of scorching weather set to burst at the beginning of the month, temperatures are expected to reach mid to high 20s with the bookies taking 2-1 odds that this June will be the hottest on record. This makes for the perfect beer garden weather as we promote the Summer of Pub in association with CAMRA. We aim to make this seasonal period thee most social yet, bringing the community together through their love of pubs and a cold pint on a hot summers day.
With the sevens season has passed for another year, we look forward to the return of the ridings. Over the coming months towns will proudly dive deep into their heritage and showcase some of the best showmanship, equestrianism and community spirit. Just to remind you all of the towns and key dates please see below;
