Really enjoyed our visit to Holmes Glass. Fantastic display of glass Art work. Met Peter and Andrew Holmes who were only too pleased to stop work and explain the finer points of their craft. The glass pieces are surprisingly affordable considering the skill and artistry that is involved in their creation.. Bought a piece and Peter was happy to make another in my daughters favourite colours.

The setting is beautiful, grounds impeccable and admission cost very reasonable, all the more so if you "convert" first entry tickets to a pass for future visits. The adventure playground is particularly good: a wide range of high quality equipment in excellent condition and laid out in such a way as to blend with the natural surroundings rather than as an intrusive afterthought. Staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

We called in here as we were passing through Selkirk and were very pleased we did. This is a lovely estate with waymarked walks in the grounds including a circular walk around the large lake. The historic former stable block has been well converted into offices for local businesses while still retaining its original exterior features. The magnificent house is an architectural gem and we hope it will be further restored and returned to use. Certainly worth visiting if you are in the nearby area.

What a memorable memorial. He was against the slave trade which made him many enemy’s. He died because of the enemy’s in Africa and it’s so sad because he was only 34 years old.
