When you live and work in the city there is no better feeling than escaping it at the weekend. Ramsay MacMahon guides us through the perfect short getaway in the Borders.

Ramsay is on two wheels on a cycling holiday in the south of Scotland. His route takes him past four spectacular abbeys - Jedburgh, Melrose, Dryburgh and Kelso. En route he stops at a local farm which has branched out into berry growing. Ramsay samples the local strawberries and packs a punnet for the road.

He also tries his hand at a sport that is an integral part of life in the Border towns - rugby. A real test of fitness and a source of rivalry between towns, Ramsay is put through his paces by Melrose rugby team at one of their training sessions.

Nuair a tha thu ag obair sa bhaile mhòr, chan eil dad a thogas do chridhe leithid fios is cinnt gun toir thu do chasan ort aig an deireadh sheachdain. Tha Ramsay MacMahon gar toirt air chuairt ghoirid ach sgoinneil sna Crìochan.

Tha e a’ gabhail tro cheann a deas na h-Alba air a’ bhaidhseagail, le cothrom tadhal air na ceithir seann abaidean sònraichte, Jedburgh, Dryburgh, Maolros agus Cealsaidh.

Ach creid gu bheil e a’ stad aig tuath a leudaich gu bhi a’ fàs dhearcan – chan eil Ramsay fada a’ blasad air na sùbhagan-làir agus a’ toirt leis pocan a chumas a’ dol e air a shlighe.

Feuchaidh e spòrs air a bheil muinntir nan Crìochan air leth measail – rugbaidh. Dearbhaidh sin cò is treasa agus abair gu bheil farpais eadar nam bailtean. Tha Ramsay a’ feuchainn air an trèanadh aig sgioba Mhaolrois – saoil an tèid a shàrachadh?
