Relax in Melrose, or why not join our included excursion to the pretty border town of Jedburgh? Up to the 17th century, Jedburgh's position as a frontier town placed it in the midst of national battles and cross-border raids. The red sandstone abbey on the banks of the Jed Water was founded in 1138 by David I and was pillaged and rebuilt many times. Mary Queen of Scots stayed here in 1566, at a house which now tells the story of her tragic life.
We return to the hotel for a festive cream tea.
