Tell Us About
Melrose is a charming country town, nestled in the Tweed Valley and overlooked by the three peaks of the Eildon Hills. The magnificent ruins of Melrose Abbey, where the heart of Robert the Bruce is said to rest, are a joy to explore, alongside idyllic gardens managed by the National Trust for Scotland. Locals and tourists can enjoy a delightful array of independent shops lining the high street, in addition to essential shopping with small supermarkets, a deli, a greengrocer, bakeries, a butcher, and a pharmacy. There is also a public library and a delightful selection of restaurants, takeaways, quaint cafés, and cosy pubs for refreshment after shopping and sightseeing. Melrose boasts a wonderful community atmosphere, enhanced by an exciting calendar of festivals and events. Highlights each year include the Borders Book Festival, the Pipe Band Championships, and the international Melrose Sevens, the town's biggest sporting event, as the birthplace of Rugby Sevens. While rugby union is particularly popular, golfers and cricketers can also find local clubs, and the stunning ancient landscape surrounding the town is a haven for pursuits such as hiking, hill running (marked by an annual race), and fishing along the River Tweed. In terms of education, Melrose offers independent schooling and state education at nursery and primary levels. A high school option is available in Earlston, while further education can be pursued at Borders College in Galashiels—both are just a 10-minute drive away. The town is well-connected, with a regular bus timetable, and Edinburgh is reachable in an hour by car or train from nearby Tweedbank.
