Immerse Yourself in Nature's Masterpiece & Angler's Paradise:

Just a short drive from The Scullery, the mystical St Mary's Loch awaits, offering stunning reflections and a peaceful setting for walks, why not try The Ring of The Loch and marvel at the spectacular bird life, and also somewhere where pike, perch, and brown trout fishing can be explored. From here you can join the Southern Upland Way and explore further a field. There is also The Captains Road, that is worth a wander and for a more dramatic spectacle, venture to the magnificent Grey Mare's Tail, one of Britain's highest waterfalls, cascading into a wild, rugged glen – a must-see for nature lovers and hikers.

The surrounding Yarrow and Ettrick Valleys are a haven for wildlife and boast arguably some of the best and most varied fishing in Scotland. Ettrick Marshes is a wonderful example of historic marshes and wetlands. beautiful rivers, tributaries of the famous River Tweed, offer excellent opportunities for wild brown trout (April-September) and salmon (February-November). Anglers can find prime beats for fly-fishing, with notable stretches on the Ettrick including the productive Ladylodge Beat, and the Yarrow Water itself offering constant depth ideal for the fly. Permits are often available via Selkirk & District Angling Association or Fishpal.

The entire River Tweed system, including its major tributaries like the Ettrick and Yarrow, is world-renowned for its Atlantic salmon and sea trout fishing. From the historic waters around Melrose to the productive beats near Kelso (such as Upper Floors and Lower Floors on the Tweed, or Sunlaws on the Teviot), and the stretches near Peebles, the Tweed offers diverse fishing experiences. The River Teviot, flowing through Hawick and Jedburgh before joining the Tweed near Kelso, also provides excellent salmon, sea trout, brown trout, and superb year-round grayling fishing. Numerous angling associations across the Borders provide access and permits, ensuring a responsible and rewarding experience.

There are also some amazing stately home in the ares: Bowhill House, one the homes of The Duke of Buccleuch is very close by and Ladhope still stands on Estate land, the farmland surrounding Ladhope is Buccleuch land and thanks to the right to roam it means there are miles and miles of walks and views to conquer and admire.
