Melrose is a very convenient base to explore the Tweed Valley. The chief draw of Melrose is its pink and red-tinted ruined abbey , said to be the best among Border abbeys.

Nestled in between the Tweed and Eildon Hills, Melrose is sleepy little town except during the Sevens Week (Please note: Melrose is the birthplace of the Rugby Sevens ) when the inhabitants are at their best and tourists pour into the town.

The Melrose Music Festival, a weekend of traditional music, is one other event which keeps the place ticking!
