Description

Selkirk and Melrose Through Time explores the rich history of these two picturesque towns in Scotland. Founded in the 12th century, Selkirk's development was driven by its thriving woollen industry, leaving a lasting legacy that can still be seen today.

The town is proud to celebrate its connections to famous figures such as Mungo Park and Sir Walter Scott, who played important roles in shaping its history. The annual Selkirk Common Riding in June is a unique celebration of the town's traditions and links to the Battle of Flodden.

Located just outside Selkirk lies the stunning Melrose Abbey, one of Britain's most beautiful monastic ruins. This historic site also holds the remains of the heart of Scottish King Robert the Bruce, adding to its significance as a place of great historical importance.
