The people of Selkirk are known as Souters (meaning cobblers) because of the town’s history as shoe makers and Halliwells House, the town’s oldest dwelling is now a fascinating museum. And be sure to sample some Selkirk Bannock, a delicious spiced fruit loaf available in local bakers shops. Three miles west of Selkirk is Bowhill, a magnificent Georgian House set in extensive grounds famous for its art collection, Little Theatre and woodland walks.
