Burnside has an accessible rural location almost equi-distant between Kelso and St.Boswells in the heart of the Scottish Borders. St. Boswells just 6 miles to the west is an attractive village with a lovely community and a range of local amenities including a well renowned public house and restaurant. A wider range of amenities is found in Kelso, which sits at the confluence of the River Tweed and which is arguably the most attractive of the Borders towns. Kelso is noted particularly for its traditional Market Square and for the remains of one of the great Border Abbeys. The town provides a good shopping centre together with an excellent range of social and sporting facilities including golf, tennis, swimming, curling, National Hunt racing and fishing. The town boasts a modern High School and two primary schools and is within easy reach of St. Mary’s School at Melrose and Longridge Towers near Berwick upon Tweed.
