The 10 Best Bars & Clubs in Scottish Borders, Scotland
A short distance from Edinburgh is a landscape strewn with sturdy hill forts, ancient castles and ruined abbeys that hints at the tumult of the past. It's quite at odds with the picturesque rolling, if windswept, sheep-studded hills and quiet valleys that make all seem agreeably placid to today’s visitor. At its heart are the ruins of four medieval abbeys with Jedburgh, the most complete, the best to visit first for its insights into monastic life. Of the others, Melrose is both the pick of the bunch, and also close to Abbotsford, the sometime home of the Romantic novelist Sir Walter Scott, and a splendid receptacle for his engrossing collection of historical curios. There are fine country houses to visit, notably Mellerstain for its exquisite Robert Adam interiors, and Manderston, the enjoyable swan song of the Edwardian Country House. Anglers should note that the River Tweed is also one of Scotland’s finest salmon-fishing rivers.

Found this little gem spending the weekend in Jedburgh. We went in to cool down after watching the Jedburgh Parade, we were made to feel so welcome, we had a Scottie Burger and Satay Burger, both were huge portions and piping hot, both meals came with coleslaw and OMG it was delicious, it was so fab that we went back the next day, we told our friends, who were staying at the same camp site and they went too, they were also very impressed, when we left on the Sunday and Lorraine gave me some coleslaw to take home. thank you Gordon and Lorraine for such a fab weekend, we will definitely be back xxx

Rutherfords is the perfect antidote to modern life. The very FIRST Micropub in Scotland. Pop in for a perfect pint of Real Ale, a hand-raised pork pie, a very special, fresh cocktail or Scottish craft gin on-tap, through a microscope. Yes... really. We also now offer our own totally natural cocktails, including Pornstar Martinis and our own take on the Cosmo... the Kelsopolitan! Great chat and NO interruptions from music, gaming machines or Television. It's the small things in life that matter.

Visited this cool little micro pub twice on two cold wintery days and had the warmest of welcomes. Superb beers and gins. Cozy and quirky, friendly atmosphere and even a folk group who put a huge smile on our faces with their rendition of BeeGees ‘Stayin’ Alive’ :-)

Ordered a round of cocktails for home delivery, been so missing cocktail nights due to lockdown and wow was not disappointed. They were good measures and tasted just the same as they would from a bar. Quick delivery and great customer service, well done team H20 for working so hard for all for customer throughout this difficult time. Hope to order again soon maybe even get a second round next time
