The Borders is a genuinely rural area which is renowned for its scenic landscapes and productive farmland. The nearby River Tweed is one of Scotland’s finest salmon rivers and the well managed grouse moors of the Lammermuirs lie to the northeast. Kelso Racecourse is an easy drive and there are many golf courses in the area, including the picturesque 18 hole championship course at The Roxburghe and a 9 hole course at St. Boswells.

The area is well served by numerous grain merchants, agricultural suppliers and livestock markets, including Newtown St Boswells (3 miles*) and Wooler (24 miles*). The major agricultural show, The Border Union, takes place in July at Kelso and the annual Kelso Ram Sales in September is the largest event of this type in Europe.
