The Scottish Borders is one of the most beautiful areas in the world to spend time, with its wide unspoiled spaces, rolling hills criss-crossed with ancient tracks and green roads, attractive villages and towns, where you are certain to come across historic castles, abbeys, keeps, or the lonely remains of fortified houses, relics of a more warlike time. Experience a unique sense of history and tradition whilst exploring the surrounding countryside rich in places of scenic and historic interest. So whether you are here for a short visit or are intending a longer stay, Rose Cottage is the perfect location to explore an area of magnificent natural scenery in what is the timeless elegance of the Scottish Borders. A two minute walk takes you into the town centre from the Cottage, convenient for access to the Railway Station, which commutes between Galashiels and Edinburgh Waverley every half hour. The Bus Station is situated adjacent to the Railway Station from which you can catch transport to almost every area within the Borders and as far as Carlisle and Berwick. You can witness each year the colour and the spectacle of the local festivals, each commemorating former deeds of honour or ancient privileges hard won and jealously guarded, or travel peaceful uncrowded roads and find pleasant wayside picnic sites. For the more active you can cast your line in the Tweed, rightly acclaimed the Queen of Scottish Rivers, or one of its tributaries, for trout and salmon in season, or swing your club on the variety of golf courses. Horse riders can mount up and ride over many of the green paths, or why not cycle along pleasant by-roads. If you are a walker the freedom of the hills is yours, and why not take advantage of the Southern Upland Way which lies on our doorstep. Local tourist attractions within the town include the War Memorial and Clock Tower which takes the form of an old Border Peel Tower designed by Sir Robert Lorimer, the architect responsible for the Scottish National War Memorial in Edinburgh Castle. The tower house is guarded by the life size mounted Border Reiver made by sculptor T.J .Clapperton. Also worth a visit is the beautiful fifteenth century mansion that is Old Gala House in whose grounds Rose Cottage was once a part.
