The theme of the footpath is the ruined Borders abbeys (established by David I of Scotland) along its way—Kelso Abbey, Jedburgh Abbey, Melrose Abbey and Dryburgh Abbey—and it also includes the towns of Hawick and Selkirk. The Abbeys were homes to the monks who lived there between the 12th and 16th centuries.
