The Scottish Borders offers skilled converters working in one of Scotland's most scenic regions. Set among rolling hills and river valleys, Borders workshops produce well-crafted conversions at competitive prices.
Converters around Galashiels, Hawick, Kelso, and Peebles serve customers from Edinburgh, Newcastle, and beyond. Build costs range from £16,000 for a compact weekender to £48,000 for a fully equipped touring van. Lead times of 10 to 14 weeks are standard.
Borders converters draw on strong traditions in textiles, engineering, and rural trades. The quieter pace of business means a more personalised service. Several specialise in sympathetic restorations of classic vans alongside new-build conversions.
The Tweed Valley around Peebles and Innerleithen is Scotland's premier mountain biking area with trail centres at Glentress. The A68 crosses through atmospheric landscapes. Scotland's right to roam means wild camping is accessible throughout the region's quiet valleys.
Great places to explore once your conversion is complete.
