Melrose Sevens Rugby

The team visit the home of seven-a-side rugby at Melrose in the Scottish Borders. While Nicci absorbs the atmosphere Robert dashes off to see some other Borders delights. Professor Ted Cowan shows him the bagpipe-playing-pig gargoyle at Melrose Abbey, where Robert the Bruce’s heart is buried. We see Abbotsford, home of Sir Walter Scott, and Fergus Wood recounts the first part of the history of famous Scots hero Rob Roy, made famous in Scott’s novel. Back at the rugby we meet Scotland and British Lions legend Scott Hastings. Then Robert and Ted set off again to investigate a Pictish fort - or is it? Finally a sprint up to the top of the Eildon Hills, then it’s time for the finals and the tournament winners.
