Melrose and Edinburgh Christmas Market Weekend

This picturesque town sits next to the River Tweed at foot of the triple peaks of the Eildon Hills; a distinctive landmark of the Scottish Borders. The area is thought to have been inhabited for thousands of years; with the Romans arriving in AD79 or 80 and building a fort nearby named Trimontium; 'Place of the Three Hills’. It’s also home to The Three Hills Roman Heritage Centre with its Trimontium Museum dedicated to Roman life in Scotland and nearby Melrose Abbey; alongside an abundance of independent shops and cafés. And, to get you in the Christmas mood; we’ve also included a full-day visit to Edinburgh Christmas Market and a half-day trip to the Border Town of Peebles.

You’ll stay at the stately-looking Waverley Castle Hotel; located just a mile from Melrose centre and set in five acres of parkland. It’s the perfect base to explore the incredible surroundings and is only a four-minute walk from the River Tweed. You’ll find stylish guest spaces with a choice of relaxing lounge and bar areas, a chic dining room, and a beautifully refurbished ballroom; together with free Wi-Fi in public areas and a lift serving all floors. The 77 comfortable, well-appointed bedrooms are kitted out with a flat-screen television, en-suite bathroom, hairdryer, and desk.
