For anyone interested in ancient history, the whole Kilmartin area is an excellent place to visit. This valley in Argyll has many standing stones, burial chambers/souterrains, hill forts and other interesting archaeogical features along with a fantastic museum to help you learn more about the area's history. Kilmartin is about a three and a half hour drive from Eddleston, so would be a good stopping point for wider travels across Scotland.
