A very friendly and relaxing atmosphere combines with the tastefully refurbished bedrooms to offer you delightful accommodation in the Royal Ancient Burgh of Selkirk.

Situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, The Glen Hotel, Selkirk is an ideal base for exploring the beauty and history of the Borders.

With 20 golf courses to choose from in the region, ranging from the championship course at Roxburghe to the very challenging hilltop course in Selkirk itself, you're spoilt for choice!
Fishing can be arranged nearby, on the banks of the Ettrick,Yarrow or Tweed, or on local lochs, or if you prefer horse riding, stables within a short drive can provide horses or ponies for hill-trekking or instruction. If you're into walking, there are many walks radiating from the hotel, or if you're fit enough, drive over to Melrose and climb the Eildons to realise why the Romans used it as a sentry point ( they had quite a large settlement in the Borders ).

If you're more interested in history than activity, then you've also come to the right place!
The Borders has many links with the past, to characters such as Mary,Queen of Scots, Sir Walter Scott, William Wallace or Robert the Bruce, and historic houses which they frequented, such as Abbotsford, Mellerstain, Manderston and Floors Castle - and of course, the famous Border Abbeys of Dryburgh, Kelso, Jedburgh and Melrose ( resting place of Robert the Bruce's heart ).
However long your stay, you'll be hard pressed to fit it all in!

Or, if you prefer just spending money, the art of craftsmanship flourishes in the Borders, and there are many local craftsmen and women who will welcome the interested visitor. There's also lots of places to eat out in the Borders, however, once you've sampled our a la carte menu we're sure you'll be eating in!

Whatever your interests, you'll find the Borders full of things to do and places to see - combine this with a stay at 'The Glen Hotel' and we'll no doubt see you returning again and again, as many others do!
