The Scottish Borders is a land of green fields and rolling hills blessed with an abundance of wildlife. The Borders is also proud of its reiver tradition and the annual Common Riding through May into June, where horses play a big role. And many people have fur babies – cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles and even spiders…

With all this in mind now is a good time to hold an “Animal Borders” exhibition.
