The Local Area Steeped in history the Borders will wrap you in its gentle hills, impress you with its abbeys, homes and castles.

For golfers there are many challenging local eighteen hole courses at Kelso, Coldstream, Roxburgh and others within easy travelling distance. Horse racing and Point-to-Point dates are very important in the Kelso calender. If you wish to explore the Borders on horseback, there are riding schools locally.

Kelso boasts an Ice Rink (seasonal) swimming pool, cinema, gymnasium and plenty of pubs. Kelso’s Springwood Park is host to many annual events including 2 day Agricultural Show, Ram and Horse Sales, Border Union Championship Dog Show and acts as a starting point to the newly revived Tweed Raft Race.

The excitement and carnival atmosphere of Kelso Civic Week must not be missed.

The famous River Tweed will tempt you to cast a fly for trout or salmon and lure you to track its course. Plenty of space in our deep freeze for the spoils. Hill walking and cycling are excellent ways to get to the heart of the Scottish Borders. Edenmouth makes a great base with a lock up store for bikes and drying room for 'misty' days.
