The Tarset Bastle Trail takes you back in time to the turbulent days of the Border raiders or Reivers.

Bastles are fortified farmhouses and an important part of the area's heritage. They were built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries when protection was needed by local people against raiders from both sides of the border.

With interpretation designed by Tarset Archive group, the route passes five bastles, with each bastle having a description board.
