LOCATION:
Ruskin is situated on the outskirts of the charming and historic market town of Kelso, home of the famous Junction Pool, which boasts some of the best salmon fishing in the world. Situated on the banks of the River Tweed, the town is protected to the north by the Lammermuir Hills and the Cheviots to the south, and lies in one of the most beautiful valleys in the country.
As a thriving market town, Kelso provides an extensive range of amenities including a variety of specialist and high street shops, a Sainsbury’s supermarket, restaurants, ice rink, swimming pool, community hospital and a medical centre.

Local tourist attractions include Floors Castle, home of the Duke of Roxburghe, Mellerstain House and Kelso Abbey. There are a variety of outdoor pursuits in the area including horse riding, fishing on the River Tweed, National Hunt racing and a golf course in the town as well as the Championship course at the Roxburghe. For walkers, there is ready access to the Pennine Way and St. Cuthberts Way.
The catchment for schooling is the Kelso Primary and the newly built Kelso High School, with private education available at Longridge Towers near Berwick-upon-Tweed or St. Mary’s Preparatory School in Melrose.

Plentiful road links are accessible from Kelso plus the A68 which links to Edinburgh and Newcastle, both of which have international airports, or via the A1 at Berwick-upon-Tweed only twenty-three miles away which has a mainline railway serving the East Coast, with a fast train to London taking around four hours.
The Borders Railway, running from Tweedbank to Edinburgh, lies approximately sixteen and a half miles away.
