Drive Through Scottish Borders

I Just decided to have a long drive and decided to hire a car and started driving. We tried to be smart and follow weather report in BBC and trying to find the dry places near Edinburgh. We found Hawick and peebles in scottish borders which should be dry during 1pm  and edinburgh supposed to be dry from 4pm on wards. To start with it looks like my idea of running away from clouds seems working, but after we cross Leaderfoot Viaduct which is situated 2.5 km east of Melrose rain never stopped until we reached edinburgh. A bit disappointed but its ok i enjoyed very long drive first time in life.

Jedburgh

We hired the car during easter weekend, we end up keeping the car for 6 days because of deal. But stupid weather didn't cooperate with us, so we been trying to follow weather very closely and  choose the places surrounding edinburgh where rain stops that period, in short running away from clouds. I choose Jedburgh and have a plan to return home by 12 and want to go for work. This 4 hour short trip turns to be amazing with wonderful locations across the journey. There is lot windmills in the farms across the journey. we reached jedburgh and entered ruin Abbey which was built in 12th  century in scottish borders.
