- Rural dog-friendly Scottish borders site with alpacas and hill views
- A 25-minute drive from St Cuthbert’s Way and Floors Castle
- Alpaca treks, barbecues, firepits, firewood and refreshments available
Alpacas for neighbours, hills for views and the Scottish border around 14 miles away… that’s the setup at Beirhope Alpacas. Things are rather relaxing in this very rural part of Scotland in the Kale Valley. Still, this Scottish borders site is only 50 minutes’ drive from Berwick-upon-Tweed and an hour from Eyemouth when you want to trade in the hills for the Berwickshire coast.
Over the border are Northumberland National Park (half an hour’s drive away) and Kielder Forest Park (an hour) for outdoorsy pursuits like hiking, biking and watersports. You may want to warm up first by getting involved with alpaca trekking activities on site. After all, since the friendly alpacas share the site, it’s likely you’ll want to greet them properly.
On base, landscapes include a peaceful woodland where you’ll be able to peek out towards Thowliestane Hill (another ripe walking location with an Iron Age hillfort, 10 minutes’ walk away). You might be able to hear the trickle of a nearby stream in the day, or at night, set your eyes on spectacular night skies – a head torch may come in handy for the dark.
Facilities-wise, this dog-friendly site has shared toilet and bucket showers, as well as additional extras that are available to purchase. This could be a hot or cold brew, a barbecue, firepit and firewood or basic refreshments. Wheelbarrows are also provided, making it easier to get from the car park to your pitch.
When it’s time to collect bigger supplies or try some Scottish fare at a local restaurant or pub, Jedburgh is the closest place to do so, 15 minutes’ drive to the west of the site.
Open from 28/04/2023 to 26/11/2023

Local attractions
While you’ll be in for a very relaxing time on site, activities don’t necessarily need to be slow-paced. The long-distance St Cuthbert’s Way runs through the Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre (25 minutes' drive). You might like to stop there for a cool off and some time in the play park or café before your big hike or take one of the shorter trails.
‘While in Scotland’, get to know a little of the culture and visit a Scottish microbrewery and distillery. The Born in Scotland (25 minutes) visitor centre runs grass sledding and it’s next to an osprey nest if you’re the birdwatching type too. In Eyemouth (an hour), there's a different type of adventure – RIB trips out on the Berwickshire coast, for one.
Once you’re fully acquainted with the coast and the hills, a little history perhaps? Walk or cycle the trails around the grounds of Floors Castle (25 minutes), or visit the Augustinian Jedburgh Abbey (15 minutes), one of the four border abbeys?
