4 SITUATION Craigie Lodge enjoys a wonderful rural setting to the west of the village of Longformacus, nestled in the Lammermuir Hills. This is some of the most spectacular countryside in Scotland, with rolling heather hills providing a wonderful backdrop. Duns 7 miles to the south, is an attractive market town which provides all essential local facilities including primary schools, a secondary school, professional services, shops and a supermarket. Jim Clark, the famous racing driver, was brought up on a farm near Duns and there is a museum and an annual rally in his honour. There is a mainline railway station at Berwickupon-Tweed, which provides a fast link to both Edinburgh and London Kings Cross. Edinburgh and Newcastle Airports are within easy reach and have regular flights to London, other UK airports and a variety of foreign destinations. Craigie Lodge is set in one of the genuinely rural areas of Scotland, despite its proximity to Edinburgh. There are excellent opportunities for the country sports enthusiast, with salmon and trout fishing available locally, including on the nearby Watch Water Reservoir, and shooting on local estates. There are 10 golf courses within easy reach, including an 18 hole course at Duns and the Roxburghe Golf Course, a championship course near, Kelso. The hill walking is exceptional and the Southern Upland Way passes near the property. There are well marked hill tracks and an abundance of hill forts, castles, ancient monuments and reservoirs to explore.
