SITUATION Kirna House is situated in the beautiful countryside of the Scottish Borders, between Innerleithen and Walkerburn and approximately 8 miles east of Peebles. Peeblesshire is one of the most attractive and accessible parts of the Borders with rolling hills, farmland and woodland. Both of the local villages of Innerleithen and Walkerburn provide a range of amenities including a post office, bakeries, playing fields, a large cooperative store and transport links. The attractive market town of Peebles offers excellent local services including shops, professional services and supermarkets. It has a well regarded secondary school, while local primary schooling is available at St Ronan s Primary School in Innerleithen. The private schools of Edinburgh and Loretto School in Musselburgh (28 miles) are within easy reach. Kirna House enjoys a wonderfully peaceful rural position, and yet is extremely accessible. Edinburgh is only some 30 miles to the north, with Gorebridge Station a 25 minute drive providing direct access to the city. Edinburgh Airport has flights to an increasing number of domestic and international destinations, and is 33 miles away. The area is renowned for its outdoor activities. The River Tweed is the most prolific salmon river in Scotland and shooting can be arranged on nearby estates. There are golf courses at Innerleithen, Peebles and Cardrona. The Peebles Hydro and Macdonald Cardrona Hotel and Spa both offer good leisure facilities and Glentress Forest is a fabulous facility for mountain bikers.
DESCRIPTION Kirna House is a magnificent A listed Victorian Scots Baronial house set in the lush Borders countryside.
