Heatherlie House, an elegant Victorian residence set in two acres of private wooded grounds, stands quietly on the edge of historic Selkirk at the heart of the Scottish Borders. Run by keen anglers and hill-walkers, we particularly welcome active guests, whether casting for salmon and sea trout on the renowned Tweed and Ettrick, cycling the quiet Borders roads and trails, or following the Borders Abbeys Way and southern upland routes.Our seven spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, offer peaceful comfort after a day outdoors, with secure cycle storage, drying facilities for wet kit, and packed lunches available on request. Centrally located in the Borders, an hour by train to Edinburgh.” The surrounding countryside remains dramatic and unspoilt. Nearby highlights include Sir Walter Scott’s Abbotsford with its Regency gardens overlooking the Tweed, and ancient Traquair House, Scotland’s oldest continually inhabited home. Return to log fires, generous Scottish breakfasts, and genuine local knowledge of the best beats, paths, and quiet corners.
