Location

Situated in the increasingly popular town of Innerleithen, in the Scottish Borders, it has much to offer in terms of location, with the abundance of outdoor pursuits available locally, such as fishing, horse riding, golf, country walks, cycle paths, but perhaps most notably, its prime setting in relation to the world class mountain biking facilities in the immediate area. With a busy events calendar throughout the year (including the highly regarded Innerleithen Music festival which has attracted well-known names such as Barbara Dickson and Eric Faulkner) and numerous places of historical interest to keep the less “energetic” of us occupied (such as St Ronans Well and Traquair House and Brewery) there is no shortage of activities for everyone. Essential amenities are well catered for within the town with additional facilities available in nearby Peebles or Galashiels. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are within comfortable commuting distance which further enhances the attraction of living in this part of the country.
