Scotland Explorer Pass
 
When I look at the web site for this pass I can't seem to find a list of sites that they actually cover. Is it just me? There is a map with little icons jammed on it which you have to enlarge and then open each icon. Am I missing something? They don't seem to cover Melrose Abbey, Jedburgh, Urquhart Castle just to name a few. I am just trying to look for an easy way to see if this pass would be of any use to us.
Thanks.

Click on "78 paid properties", "daytime events" or "places to visit"

Even the map you don't seem to like shows Urquhart and all the Border Abbeys

You don't need to open the icons (right now I'm on an iPad so it may be different on a computer ) I just touch the icons w/ my stylus and the name displays.

Urquhart is Number 68, Melrose - 14, Jedburgh - 13

If OP is referring to the following then you can zoom in on it either by using the slider or by double clicking on the map
