Roxburghshire

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Roxburgh holiday cottages.

Roxburghshire is a land of ancient abbeys, castles and historic houses just over the Cheviot Hills from Northumberland. On exploring in and around the main towns of Melrose and Kelso holiday cottage visitors will soon come to realise that down the centuries this region formed the frontline in the many wars between England and Scotland. On holiday in Roxburghshire it is immediately evident that, today, the real Scotland starts right at the border.

Roxburghshire was named after what was once the largest market town between Newcastle and Edinburgh. Mysteriously it disappeared almost entirely and is now just a farming hamlet. Of even greater mystery and intrigue are the ruins of Roxburgh Castle - could they have been Camelot of folklore fame? The River Tweed flows through the main towns in the county - Kelso and Melrose. Kelso Abbey was the largest of the Border abbeys and Melrose one of the richest. It is here that Robert the Bruce's heart is buried. Other ruined abbeys include Dryburgh, perhaps the most evocative monastic ruin in Scotland with Sir Walter Scott's grave and the impressive Jedburgh Abbey. By selecting one of our holiday cottages Roxburgh and the many attractions of the Scottish Borders can be discovered. So, why not browse our selection of Roxburgh holiday cottages to find something that catches your eye?
