AREA INSIGHTS
Lanton is a picturesque village located approximately two miles north of Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, nestled on the northern slopes of scenic Lanton Hill. With ancient roots evidenced by archaeological finds, the area has been settled since prehistoric times. During the medieval period, Lanton lay within the turbulent Scottish Middle Marches and was often caught up in the Anglo-Scottish border conflicts. Over time, it evolved into a peaceful rural community, reflecting the broader agricultural heritage of the Borders. Despite its tranquil setting, Lanton benefits from excellent transport links, just two miles from the A68, offering easy access north to Edinburgh and south to both the northeast and northwest of England.
The Borders Railway at Tweedbank, approximately 15 miles away, also provides regular train services to Edinburgh, making commuting convenient. Nearby, the historic town of Jedburgh offers rich cultural heritage and notable landmarks such as the 12th-century Jedburgh Abbey and Mary Queen of Scots’ House, alongside a variety of amenities including shops, cafés, restaurants, a swimming pool, and a modern Health & Leisure Centre. For families, Ancrum Primary School and Jedburgh Grammar Campus provide high-quality education for all age groups, as well as St Marys in Melrose and Longridge Towers School near Berwick offer excellent private schooling, making the area as practical as it is charming.
The nearby towns of Kelso, St Boswells, and Melrose each offer a distinct blend of charm and convenience. Kelso is a vibrant market town with Georgian architecture, a variety of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and larger supermarkets. St Boswells offers a village feel and is home to the popular Mainstreet Trading Company, as well as scenic walks along the River Tweed. Melrose, nestled at the foot of the Eildon Hills, is rich in history with its famous abbey and a bustling town centre filled with independent shops and eateries
The surrounding area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for fishing on the River Tweed, excellent equestrian facilities, hill walking, cycling, National Hunt racing, and a choice of excellent golf courses, including Jedburgh’s own 18-hole course and the nearby Schloss Roxburghe Championship Course, just a short drive away.
