New shops and restaurants in town
Our favourite club site now and we have been coming here for many years, the wardens and site still excellent, the site is right in the town, next to a good Co-op, good cafes and eateries and a whole day can be spent from the site itself and the site is getting more an more popular each year. A few changes in the town from our last visit in early November. There is a new restaurant very close to the site, literally a few minutes walk, called Provender which got good reviews in the information room and it was very good indeed. It is a little pricier than some but you also get 15% discount with your membership card. Sadly the King's Arm has closed and has been for a while. A few new shops opened and the old Co-op has been taken over by Chest and Heart Scotland charity shop and it's old smaller shop closed. Lots to do in the surrounding area too with larger supermarkets in nearby Galashields. The train from Tweedbank to Edinburgh is very good with free parking. Playground next door, and a tennis club and large playing fields complete the appeal. An excellent site all round.
