For those interested in cultural heritage, the village hosts the incredible Dryburgh Abbey, situated a short distance north. St Boswell also is home to the first chain suspension bridge in Britain, which was erected across the River Tweed in 1817.

Whilst in St Boswell, one of the most popular activities enjoyed by locals and tourists alike is Scott's view, an incredible viewpoint frequented by hikers.
One local resident shared on TripAdvisor how much they appreciated living in St Boswell, penning: "Very lucky to live very near to this viewpoint in the beautiful Scottish Borders.
"The view at all times of the year is stunning. Parking and seating areas available. Tranquil and peaceful looking over towards the Eildons. Take time out if your trip to visit."
Another reviewer described the viewpoint as "one of the best views in Scotland", writing: "We followed the signs from St Boswells up a short narrow road towards Scotts view, having seen photos online we were expecting a good view but the view was outstanding! Well worth the short 4 mile detour, the road is narrow in some places and a few potholes too but it's definitely one of the best views in Scotland that I have seen!"
