Location
The village of Minto is a much sought after Borders location sheltering below the Minto Hills with the landmark Ruberslaw, lying south of Denholm, Minto Estate and woodland walks and pele tower known as Fatlips Castle. The village centres around the Parish Church, a Victorian building in the Gothic style designed by Playfair (1830) replacing a much earlier medieval building which stood a short distance to the east and dated back to at least 1275. The village is a mile from the nearby village of Denholm with its local shops, village pubs, bistro, garage and Primary School with the nearby towns of Hawick and Jedburgh providing a range of shops and facilities and Secondary Schools. The Borders rail connection to Edinburgh is some 20 minutes’ drive with stations at Galashiels and ample parking at Tweedbank near Melrose. The 18-Hole Golf Course at Minto is just a hop over the fence and ideal for that early morning round. -
