Charge: Actors prepare for heritage festival

Actors gear up to take part in the biggest ever Scottish Borders Heritage Festival, which is due to take place in September.

Launched at the National Trust for Scotland’s Harmony Garden in Melrose, the festival will run throughout the whole of September and will celebrate spectacular heritage sites through light, music, storytelling, re-enactment, theatre and performance.

In addition to walks, talks and exhibitions, the festival will be hosting new highlight events in castles, tower houses and abbeys, bringing the unique and colourful history of the Scottish Borders alive.
