Location
Rowanbank is situated just to the south of Broughton, a thriving village in the Scottish Borders, almost midway between the towns of Biggar and Peebles.
The village hall provides a hub for community activities, including a playgroup and choral society, and across the road there is a popular bistro and café, Laurel Bank Tea Room. The village is also home to a commercial garage and primary school, as well as Broughton Brewery, a craft brewery established in 1979. The local community was awarded a grant from the Scottish Land Fund to buy the village shop, Broughton Stores, which reopened in the summer of 2019.
The towns of Biggar and Peebles offer a wider range of professional services, as well as secondary schools, supermarkets, and a variety of sports facilities. They are also host to a number of theatre and music clubs.
Broughton is situated on the A701, so has good road links to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the south. There is a public bus service between Biggar and Peebles, and Edinburgh International Airport is approximately 34 miles away. The Caledonian Sleeper service calls at Carstairs Junction station (15.5 miles), providing a useful railway link to and from London.
The local area provides an abundance of outdoor sporting opportunities, with exceptional hill walking and mountain biking on the 7 Stanes. There is shooting and fishing to let locally, and the spa at Stobo Castle and Dawyck Botanic Garden are a short drive away. Furthermore, the area has been immortalised in the writings of John Buchan. The John Buchan Way passes a short distance from the property as it winds its way over the hills from Peebles to Broughton.
