Chapelhope Farmhouse, Selkirk, Scottish Borders
The Scottish Borders stretch from the rolling hills and moorland in the west through gentle valleys to the rocky east coast. Rivers and paths wind their way through unspoilt natural landscapes. The pace of life is gentle and relaxed and this makes the Scottish Borders an ideal holiday destination.
Chapelhope Farmhouse is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders between Selkirk and Moffat close to picturesque St Mary's Loch. The loch is ideal for both fishing and sailing and good for walkers too. The area has many dedicated paths including the Southern Upland Way; visitors may also enjoy the breath taking Grey Mare's Tail waterfall and the beautiful walk beyond it to Loch Skeen. There are also some fabulous walks directly from Chapelhope's door. Hours can pass happily picnicking up the glen behind the house and building dams in the burn.
The Scottish Borders has a rich and turbulent history and there is much to explore; elegant abbeys, dramatic ruins, impressive castles and grand mansions. Traquair, Bowhill and Neidpath are all nearby. The area has associations with epic characters including King Arthur and Merlin, Robert the Bruce, William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots. In more recent times, it has been the inspiration for Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg, The Etterick Shepherd.
Also, for the outdoor pursuits enthusiast, there is golf, fishing, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, off road driving and mountain biking - Glentress and 7 Stanes are just a 25 minute drive away.
