Bowhill
Bowhill Review
One of the stately homes in the Borders, and home of the Duke of Buccleuch, Bowhill dates from the 19th century and houses an outstanding collection of works by Gainsborough, Van Dyck, Canaletto, Reynolds, and Raeburn, as well as porcelain and period furniture. The house itself is only open in July and August; the grounds have slightly more friendly hours. A combined pass for Bowhill and Abbotsford is available for £12.
