Destination Tweed is a unique project which aims to celebrate and share the nature, history and stories of this unique waterway and deliver significant economic, environmental, educational and social benefits to the South of Scotland and North Northumberland.
A major multi-year partnership led investment, Destination Tweed will deliver the River Tweed Trail, a spectacular new source to sea walking and cycling route starting at Moffat before climbing to the source of the river, and on to Berwick Upon Tweed where the river meets the sea. As part of this development, a further 12 projects covering a wide range of cultural, river and landscape enhancements, will connect communities and attractions along the route and create opportunities to celebrate, care for, enjoy and promote the river sustainably.
Moffat Museum will contribute to promoting the project as a whole and local events which the community can get involved with.
