Selkirk is one of the oldest Royal Burghs in Scotland and also one of the earliest settlements in what is now the Scottish Borders. It was here that the first Borders Abbey was founded by a community of Monks who then moved to Kelso Abbey during the reign of King David I.
Similar to the other large towns in the Borders, Selkirk grew because of its wool industry and experienced a boom in production in the early 19th century. There is splendid walking to be had , and in the past we have passed over the Eildons, visited Thomas the Rhymer's Stone, climber to the the Three Brethren and angled around Haining Loch: magic.
