Location

The ever popular Melrose – voted the best town to live in Scotland, the undoubted reigning champion across the region in terms of popularity and a firm favourite for families, retirees and tourists alike. The pull of the quaint and picturesque town lies in its beautifully kept and vibrant high street; packed with independent traders and shops, Melrose retains a traditional market town feel with plenty to do - while still extremely well connected for modern requirement.

The area is surrounded by historical landmarks; with Border heavy weights such Sir Walter Scott’s residence and the St Mary’s Abbey just a short walk, with the backdrop of the Eildon hills on one side, and the River Tweed to the other, making it quite the idyllic spot.

In addition to stunning local scenery, the well-connected town takes advantage of major road and rail links; sitting just off the A68 and A7 with connections to the recently opened Borders Railway at Tweedbank and Galashiels, as well as a local bus service. Edinburgh is within striking distance, just a swift 40 minute drive for the commuter, with the railway opening up the region for both work and leisure.

There is no shortage of sporting amenities from golf to tennis, football to rugby, and the town is proudly home to the world famous Melrose Sevens.
