Make more of your Sevens weekend​

​

There’s plenty to discover beyond the rugby.

Melrose is one of the Scottish Borders’ best-loved towns, with independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants alongside historic landmarks and beautiful countryside - all within easy reach of the Greenyards.

​

Explore Melrose

Take a wander through the town centre, visit Melrose Abbey, browse the local shops or stop for coffee, lunch or a drink before heading back to the rugby.

​

For something more active, the Eildon Hills provide some of the best views over Melrose and the surrounding Borders.

​

Discover the Scottish Borders

Stay a little longer and explore further afield, from riverside walks and historic houses to picturesque towns and villages across the region.

​

Nearby highlights include Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, the River Tweed, and towns such as Kelso, Jedburgh and Peebles.

​

Food, Drink & Local Favourites

The Borders is packed with great places to eat and drink, from relaxed cafés and traditional pubs to restaurants showcasing local produce.

​

Sevens weekend is always busy, so booking ahead for meals is a good idea.

​

Make a Weekend of It

Whether you’re here for the rugby, travelling with family or making a weekend of it with friends, Melrose and the wider Borders give you plenty of reasons to stay a little longer.
