Skirling

Scotland

Skirling is a small Borders village on the A702 between Edinburgh and Dumfries, about 45km south of the capital. The village sits near Biggar in gentle hill country typical of the region. Most visitors arrive via the A702 from Edinburgh or the M74-A702 route from Glasgow. The 12th-century parish church houses exceptional medieval stone carvings, including rare Pictish symbols carved into the walls.
