Lonely Planet's list is divided into five distinct sections: Eat, Journey, Connect, Learn and Unwind. Each one is informed by expert local perspectives from the cities, countries, and regions included to provide a deeper insight into what they have to offer.
Southern Scotland was placed within the 'Learn' category.
Lonely Planet commented: "The new Lumo train offering low-price competition between London and Edinburgh makes accessing Scotland a fast, affordable breeze.
"Instead of heading to the Highlands, aim for the Borders and other areas of southern Scotland to learn more about the country’s history and famous residents like writer Robert Burns."
It continued: "With the debate about Scottish independence showing no sign of cooling, exploring the borderlands is a great way to contemplate the future of the entire UK as well."
Other destinations featured in the 'Learn' category include New Mexico, Marseille, El Salvador, and Dresden.
The only other UK destination to be included in the section is Manchester, which was praised for its accessibility and sustainability.
