To mark the release of a new updated illustrative map of the Big Houses in the Scottish Borders, a new 'Bag the Big Houses' scheme is being launched for visitors.''The Big Houses in the Scottish Borders Group, which is made up of 11 of the region's greatest historic homes and castles, is launching this scheme to encourage visitors to enjoy several properties and extend their time in the area. A stamp will be issued at each house and once the visitor has collected at least six then they can collect an exclusive Big Houses tote bag as a souvenir of their time in the Borders. It is hoped that this will encourage visitors to see a wider range of the properties and increase visitor numbers at each of the Houses.
