Location
Ellemford is a small community with farms at Rigfoot and Ellemford divided by the river Whiteadder with hill land beyond and woodlands on the southern bank. Ideal walking country, the Southern Upland Way passes nearby en route from Longformacus to the hamlet of Abbey St Bathans. The Lammermuirs are one of the undiscovered treasures of Scotland and the area is an ideal base for country pursuits with opportunities for walking, horse riding and trout fishing on the River Whiteadder available nearby. Duns, the former County Town of Berwickshire, six miles southeast, provides primary and secondary schooling, a swimming pool and a number of small shops centred around the Market Square. The larger town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, a further 12 miles distant, lies on the A1 with main east coast rail links.. What3words ///rehearsal.vibrates.goofy
