In many towns throughout the Scottish Borders, high streets are a vibrant mix of independent specialists and boutiques. Bakers carrying on the tradition of the Selkirk Bannock, butchers winning plaudits for their haggis recipes, confectioners satisfying the Scottish sweet tooth for Soor Plooms and Hawick Balls, each add to the pleasure of shopping here.

Of particular note is the Royal Burgh of Peebles, a former winner of the 'Top Independent Retailing Town in Scotland' award for its top quality range of individual shops. 

However, each town offers a unique retail experience which will ensure you don’t leave for home without a good buy from the Borders.
