Melrose sits quietly in the Scottish Borders in the shadow of the ruined Cistercian abbey where, legend holds, Robert the Bruce's heart lies buried. Its compact streets reward slow wandering, with independent cafes perfect for warming up after a walk along the nearby Eildon Hills. When it's time to eat properly, local restaurants serve up Borders produce, and a range of hotels offer a comfortable base for exploring further.
