Surrounding Aghmhor is a spectacular, sunny garden that has a tremendous show of both bird and plant life. It includes an expansive lawn, gravel seating area, paved paths, well-stocked herbaceous borders, terracing, and water features. Tucked away are the Kota Hut, the gazebo, the garden shed/snug and log store. (See the floor plans for room layout and dimensions).
Aghmhor is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, within the secluded and peaceful hamlet of Whitmuir. Everyday amenities and leisure facilities can be found in the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Selkirk, with a broader range of facilities available in Edinburgh and Galashiels (8 miles). Selkirk is a historic and accessible town in the centre of the Scottish Borders on the banks of the Ettrick Water. The town and surrounding countryside developed around the wool and textile trades and were made famous by Sir Walter Scott, who lived nearby at Abbotsford. There are good schools in Melrose, namely St Mary's Preparatory School for boys and girls and an excellent primary school. Lilliesleaf and Selkirk also have very good primary schools, whilst Selkirk's high school provides state secondary education.
Selkirk has a good selection of shops, a supermarket, hotels, and cafes. The town also has a thriving rugby club, tennis courts, golf course, and swimming pool/fitness centre. The Borders has a wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities and is renowned for its beautiful countryside and exceptional wildlife. Only a short walk from the house is Whitmuir Loch – a well-kept secret and an absolute haven for a huge variety of flora and fauna. Aghmhor is an ideal base for those who enjoy fishing on the Tweed and its tributaries, walking, cycling, golfing and riding. Every summer Selkirk plays host to its famous “Common Riding”.
Aghmhor is accessible from the north or south, from either A68 or A7. Edinburgh, lying 41 miles to the north, has an international airport and an intercity rail service, while Berwick upon Tweed, 39 miles to the east, has a mainline station linking Edinburgh and London (approximately 3 hours 40 minutes). The Waverley line from central Edinburgh to the Borders terminates at Tweedbank (just outside Galashiels) – journey time one hour.
