Welcome to Selkirk Scotland
Selkirk
has indelibly stamped itself on Scotland's and the Scottish Borders' ancient
past. From being the site of the first Border Abbey to where William Wallace,
"Braveheart", was declared guardian of Scotland.
The diverse names of Bonnie Prince Charlie, The Marquess of Montrose
and the Outlaw Murray have all contributed to create a unique historical
tapestry.
Selkirk is an attractive town extending from the hilltop location of
its Market Place and High Street down steep slopes to the impressive old
woollen mills and more modern industrial estates along the valley of the
Ettrick Water.
For many Selkirk will be best known as a fixture on the A7, the traditional
route from Carlisle to Edinburgh.
The road still passes through the centre of the town, but the greater
effort involved in navigating Hawick, a few miles to the south, and Galashiels,
a few miles to the north, mean that despite its obvious attractions Selkirk
leaves less of an impression on the motorist.
