Nestled in the Tweed Valley, Maxton is a small hamlet that offers peaceful rural living surrounded by the beautiful open countryside of the Scottish Borders. Close to the River Tweed, it is a stunning location with breath-taking country views. And whilst it presents a sense of rural seclusion, the hamlet remains close to neighbouring villages and towns.

Melrose is also home to a public library and a delightful selection of restaurants, takeaways, quaint cafes, and cosy pubs. In addition, it hosts an exciting calendar of festivals and events throughout the year, such as he Borders Book Festival, the Pipe Band Championships, and the international Melrose Sevens, the town's biggest sporting event, as the birthplace of Rugby Sevens. Golfers and cricketers can also find local clubs to enjoy, there is fishing along the River Tweed, and the sublime natural landscape (which includes the Eildon Hills) is a haven for hiking and cycling. For those interested in history, the magnificent ruins of Melrose Abbey are a must see, not just for its incredible architecture but also as the final resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart. For education, there are nursery and primary schools in St Boswells, a secondary school in neighbouring Earlston, a college in Newton St Boswells, and an independent day and boarding school at Melrose (St Mary's Melrose).
