Property in Melrose

Situated at the foot of the landmark peaks of the Eildon Hills, Melrose is a genteel town with a tranquil vibe. The jewel in this picturesque town is undoubtedly the magnificent rose-red ruins of the 12th century abbey, believed to be the final resting place of a casket containing the heart of Robert the Bruce. A major historic attraction, the abbey is also the starting point for St Cuthbert’s Way, a 62-mile cross border walk that ends in Holy Island, off the northwest coast of Northumberland.

Just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, Melrose is best known for its traditional stone-built houses, however buyers now have the opportunity to combine the best of both ends of the spectrum; a traditional setting and Victorian architecture and modern new build properties.
