Rich in history and character, the town grew around the magnificent Melrose Abbey and was immortalised by Sir Walter Scott, whose nearby home at Abbotsford House remains one of the area's most celebrated landmarks.

The town offers an excellent range of educational facilities, including St Mary's School Melrose and a highly regarded local primary school.

Residents also enjoy access to tennis courts and a popular golf course.
