"Absolutely fabulous. What a beautiful house to stay in and perfect surroundings for a great family holiday"
Scotstoun is located within easy reach of Edinburgh, Glasgow and the M74.
Scotstoun Farmhouse is located just off the A701 between Blyth Bridge and Mountain Cross (see map). Turn off the A701 by Entryhead cottage and follow the tree lined drive. Turn left before reaching Scotstoun House, passing in front of it at the bottom of the lawn. The arched entrance to the steading can be seen 100 yards later.
There is an enormous amount to do in the Borders. Our nearest towns and villages are West Linton, Biggar and Peebles, each of which are amongst the prettiest and most picturesque in Scotland.
