The Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders is an area of great contrasts from soft rolling hills to
spectacular rugged coastline. Traces of Iron age forts and tower houses
that once held out against English raiders are to be found in the
area and on Thirlestane Farm itself. Several stately homes and country
mansions including Thirlestane Castle just outside Lauder attract
many to the area.
The Scottish Borders landscape naturally lends itself to outdoor activities. Walking attracts many to the Borderlands. The Southern Upland Way crosses the farm on its way across the Lammermuir Hills to Cockburnspath. Other activities include fishing, cycling, golf and horse riding. Horses play a major part in Scottish Borders life whether it be hunting or horse racing at Kelso or Musselburgh, the local Common Ridings or eventing. Thirlestane Castle is the home of the Scottish Horse Trials, held every August and attracts top equestrian riders from home and abroad.
The famous rugby towns of Melrose, Selkirk, Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh & Kelso each host their own Seven-A-Side rugby tournaments each year, again attracting many visitors to the Scottish Borders. Similarly the annual Jim Clark Memorial Rally sees rallying fans enjoy thrilling races through the Borders forests. The late Formula One World Champion lived in Duns which holds a museum celebrating his many achievements.
Thirlestane offers a great base for your holiday in Scotland with plenty to do and see locally and also within easy travelling of Northumberland, Edinburgh and the Lothians, Fife and Perthshire.
When you stay on Thirlestane Farm you can enjoy either bed and breakfast, a short break, a family holiday, an overnight stop on a long journey or touring holidays, or as a haven for business travellers at the end of a busy working day.
