Selkirk Cottages

Newark Castle Newark Castle is a rectangular tower with 3m thick walls, first mentioned in 1423, and standing on a natural stronghold, reinforced by a 16th century barmkin. The castle was passed back to the Crown in 1445 from the Earls of Douglas and became one of only two royal castles in the Middle March, serving both as an estate centre for Ettrick Forest and a hunting retreat. In 1547-8, the English took the barmkin, burnt the stables, but could not take the house. They came back the next year and did so. In 1645, 100 prisoners from the battle of Philiphaugh were slaughtered in the courtyard, and Cromwells troops occupied it in 1650. Viewed from Foulshiels Hill in the adjacent square to the north.

Kennels Cottage - Countryside charm at The Yair in The Scottish Borders

By Galashiels

"We loved our stay at The Yair. We booked it for its proximity to the river Tweed for fly fishing and found that the river runs past the property; complete with fishing hut and a gillie! The property’s owner was great in his communication and was available for anything we needed. It was fascinating to learn from him about the history of the property. Our cottage was beautiful and the hot tub was a nice addition. We would stay here again, independent of fishing."

"Lovely cosy cottage with gorgeous views. Owner was really friendly checking we’d settled in ok. Great location (as long as you have car) to get to nearby towns and attractions. Shame there wasn’t a pub within walking distance (as the road was too risky to walk on at night), however, the food and staff at the local pub in Yetholm (approx 1.5mile) were lovely and welcoming and food great! The only criticism I’d have of the cottage is that the bathroom and some decor could do with updating, however...
