Selkirk is popular for walks and outdoor pursuits; with the rolling hills and scenic views of the Valleys, there are fantastic routes for those on foot, bike or horseback with easy access to the impressive Bowhill Estate and the Three Brethren. Rugby, golf, biking and horse riding enthusiasts are well catered for within the area, and Selkirk has a long and colourful history which is commemorated each year at the Common Riding. The town boasts a traditional high street with a good selection of small, independent shops, including two small supermarkets providing for everyday requirements, with larger superstores and high street chains available in nearby Galashiels some 6 miles away. There are a number of well supported coffee shops, restaurants and hotels in the area, a well regarded secondary school and three excellent primary schools with nursery facilities.
