About the area
Selkirk
Located in Selkirk, this apartment is in a rural area. The Borders Distillery and Torwoodlee Golf Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit St Abbs & Eyemouth Voluntary Marine Reserve and Scott's View. Sailing and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with mountain biking and hunting nearby.
