Local Information and useful links Morebattle
 Morebattle is delightful, quiet, small historic Scottish country village at the foot of the Cheviots. It has all the essentials for a relaxing holiday including fabulous countryside, a good pub, an excellent butcher and easy access to the entire Borders region. It is perfect for access to the Tweed, Teviot, Borders Abbeys and of course, in the middle of St Cuthbert's Way. Kelso
Kelso is one of the Borders main market towns. It has a large cobbled square in its centre and a wide range of interesting shops and great places to eat and drink. We would highly recommend a visit. Fishing on the Tweed and Teviot
The Tweed is the second longest river in Scotland and has a world-wide reputation for truly great salmon and trout fishing. It catches more salmon on the fly than any other river in Britan. One of the Tweed's main tributaries is the Teviot - again, excellent for fishing with many named pools. Both are very easily accessible from Caddy Cottage and we would be delighted to assist with organising permits for you as required. St Cuthbert's Way 
This 100 k / 62½ mile walk between Melrose Abbey and Lindisfarne or Holy Island, two religious sites in the Borders area which are connected with St Cuthbert. St Cuthbert started his life in one location and ended it after many years of holy service, in the other. Saint Cuthbert, after whom the 'way' is named, was born about AD 634. His birthplace is uncertain but probably Oxton or Smailholm. Many more details about the walk, sites to see and places to rest on the way (such as Caddy Cottage!), can be found at the St Cuthbert's Way website. Walking in the Cheviot Hills
The Cheviot Hills are an extinct volcano. In the east a great pile of ancient volcanic rocks reaches an elevation of 2,676 feet (816 metres) in the Cheviot. The hills are steep but smoothly rounded; they are dissected by deep glens almost deserted except for a few shepherds' cottages. Evidence of prehistoric occupation is widespread. The hills have a good network of paths which allow walkers and mountain bikers to follow ancient routes. The spectacular waterfall of Linhope Spout is worth a visit for walkers as is the ascent to the Cheviot summit, from where the Pennine Way winds is way along the England / Scotland border. More information on Cheviot walks can be found about the here for walkers and for horse riders here. T he Borders Abbeys
Scotland four great Abbeys were built during the reign of St David I and are all located in the Borders in Melrose, Jedburgh, Dryburgh and Kelso. All are within easy reach of Morebattle. There is much published information about these amazing buildings. We suggest the Undiscovered Scotland link. An excellent all round web site for the Borders is :
