Thirlestane Farmhouse

Why stay in the Scottish Borders?
The Borders is full of great contrasts in the landscape 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 itself. Several stately homes and country mansions including Thirlestane Castle just outside Lauder which attracts 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 wether 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.
Thirlestane Farm can offer your horse bed and breakfast accommodation in our stables and allow you the opportunity to ride on the farmland and surrounding area.
Nearby are 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.
