The Scottish Borders region

The South of Scotland and the area around the Scottish boarder is home to a variety of interesting local pubs and restaurants, local butchers, bakers, salmon smokeries etc. There are many colourful Border towns and villages for shopping and dining out. Romantic hill country, with rivers, lochs and grazing animals. Wild birds and mammals. Ever changing skies. Quiet roads and genuine people, local produce. The region is renowned for great hill walking along the Pennine way, Dere Street, Southern Upland Way, the Abbeys Way.

The Kelso / Ednam area

Kelso was described by Sir Walter Scott as 'The most beautiful, if not the most romantic town in Scotland'. It has a glorious setting, nestling in the Cheviots, with the River Tweed sweeping round the backs of pretty Georgian cottages and the unusual octagonal parish church. The 18th century cobbled square and handsome townhouses give Kelso the elegant air of a French market town. Today the cobbled square has a wonderful collection of shops...cashmere, finest tweeds, pottery, Honour Murray, Tweedside Tackle, Mitchells Butcher and Delicatessen, and a unique assortment of gift shops.

There are reminders of the towns magnificent medieval past in the ruins of its Romanesque Abbey, built for David I in 1128. It was one of the biggest abbeys in the area before it was razed to the ground in 1545 during Scotlands rough wooing by Henry VIII. Floors Castle is the largest inhabited castle in Scotland and you can wander through spectacular staterooms filled with priceless European paintings, tapestries and furnishings.

For action - new tennis courts, the Tweed cycle way, golf, rugby, racing, horse-riding, curling, ice-skating, fishing, walking, beaches.

For relaxing - several beauty salons, gardens, historic houses, the Border Abbeys, the quaint Roxy cinema.

For nourishment - several good pubs including the Queenshead bistro and the Cobbles, and a superb wine bar, Oscars, are all found in Kelso. Further out of town there is the wonderful Caddy Mans and the Teviot Smokery coffee shop on the Jedburgh Road. Plum Braes Barn has walking etc

Map showing the Ednam areaReset Map

From Kelso, head towards Ednam on the B6461, passing the racecourse on your left hand side and the Thomson monument on the hill to your right.

After 2 miles you will reach Ednam over an old stone bridge – straight away turn right past the bus shelter – it’s a very bad bend, be careful! Continue up the hill past the farm cottages on the left, followed by Cliftonhill farm on the right.
Take train to Berwick and hire a car at the station or be collected. Easy and recommended.
Fly to Edinburgh or Newcastle and hire a car and drive an hour. Easy and recommended.

Plum Braes barn is signposted at the far end of the farm steading, on the right.

For Edmonston, keep going past the farm and up the hill – it is on the top of the hill on the right.
