This is a level and peaceful site on the edge of Melrose, (easy for shopping) and overlooked by the three hills which gave rise to its
Roman name of Trimontium. Metrose is famous for two things: its wined Abbey and for being the place where Rugby Sevens was
invented in 1883, so if you're a fan, teiphone the site for the date when the Border teams meet for their annual Melrose Sevens
Rugby Tournament. Other sports facilities adjacent to the site are tennis, playing fields and a playground and there's fishing in the
Tweed. Meirose Festival is held in mid June each year.
