Peebles
a short walk away, is a delightful town with interesting shops and a 'noted' tea room. There are opportunities for easy riverside walks along the near-by River Tweed.
The rarefied town of Peebles is situated in the west of the Scottish Borders, just 45 minutes away from Edinburgh. It sits on the north bank of the River Tweed, where there is parkland with pleasant riverside walks, while the wide high street has a mix of Victorian architecture.

The high street has an old Mercat Cross and the ruined Cross Kirk, standing high above Eddleston Water, was founded in 1261. There are many fine buildings in the town, one of which is the Chambers Institute, gifted to the town by two of its famous sons, Robert and William Chambers.

As with most Scottish Borders towns, golf, fishing, mountain biking and walking are popular pursuits, with Tweeddale Forest and the Southern Upland Way within easy reach.
