Local schooling is provided by the excellent Lilliesleaf Primary, with secondary schooling at Selkirk High School with the highly regarded St Marys Preparatory School in Melrose.
It should be noted that the Borders Railway running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, lies approximately eleven miles away, and road links that include the A68 or A7, provide links to Edinburgh or the North of England as well as to Edinburgh and Newcastle airports – both of which are international, and offer an excellent choice of destinations.
