The Old Threshing Mill cottages comprise three cottages converted from a traditional stone farm building, which was originally used as a threshing shed for farms in the locality. Its history can be traced back to 1745, the year that Bonnie Prince Charlie marched south of the border. Then the Scottish borders were shaped by geography, war and clan feuds. Located in the peaceful countryside, near the River Tweed, the Old Threshing Mill is just 43 miles from Edinburgh. The Scottish Borders stretches from the rolling hills and moorlands in the west through to gentler valleys and high agricultural plains in the east and then to rocky Berwickshire coastline with its secluded coves and picturesque fishing villages. The area has a colourful history where for many hundreds of years, loyalty to clan or family was far greater than to the monarch, religion or country. Here you will find a rich history embracing Kings and Queens, lairds and clans. The picturesque country town of Kelso is just 6 miles away and just outside you will be able to discover Scotland's largest inhabited house, Floors Castle, home to the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. Other notable attractions, being Mellerstain House, the Towers of Smailholm and Greenknowe lie just to the north of Kelso.
