Leaflet Day hailed a great success

A leaflet day at Gilnockie Tower has been hailed as a great success, bringing together tourism businesses from across the region to connect, collaborate, and promote what the area has to offer. Organised as part of the Teviotdale Steel Bonnets Equipment Week, the event near Canonbie welcomed a wide range of participants, with businesses travelling from as far as Carlisle right through to Melrose in the Scottish Borders. The day provided a valuable opportunity for local accommodation providers, visitor attractions, and experience hosts to meet face-to-face, exchange information, and build stronger working relationships. The relaxed and informal setting at Gilnockie Tower proved ideal for networking, with attendees sharing leaflets, discussing ideas, and forming new partnerships aimed at strengthening tourism across the region. The event highlighted the importance of collaboration in encouraging more visitors to explore the rich history, heritage, and hospitality found throughout Eskdale, Liddesdale, Teviotdale, and beyond. Organisers were delighted with the turnout and the positive feedback received on the day, with many participants praising the opportunity to connect with other local businesses and raise awareness of what they offer. Following the success of the event, plans are already in place for a second leaflet day, which will take place mid-season on Saturday July 18, with the same format and details as before. The team behind the event hope to build on this momentum and continue strengthening links across the tourism sector, ensuring the region remains a welcoming and well-promoted destination for visitors throughout the year.
