3About Selkirk
Selkirk sits on the A7 between Edinburgh and the English border, making it a natural stop for drivers exploring the Scottish Borders. The town lies where the Ettrick and Yarrow waters meet to form the Tweed, surrounded by the characteristic rolling hills of the region. With over 20 EV charging points nearby and good connections via the A708 to Moffat and A699 to Kelso, it serves as an excellent base for touring. Each June, the Market Place erupts as hundreds of horsemen thunder through the streets during the Common Riding ceremony, a 400-year-old tradition.
