Selkirkshire is now part of the Scottish borders.  This particular area of the Scottish borders lies just north of part of the borders known as Roxburghshire.  Selkirkshire is a good cottage holiday destination if you are looking to stay in part of Scotland rich in green countryside yet close enough to the beautiful capital city of Edinburgh to be able to get there in just over an hour by car.  Many people like the option of having the best of both worlds where you can combine a relaxing self catering break in the peaceful countryside with the ability to travel in to the capital city and experience all its has to offer as and when you wish.  Or if you prefer just to relax and stay away from the hustle and bustle of life for a while, Selkirkshire has plenty opportunities for relaxing.  You can head in to Lindinney Wood, also known as Yair forest and enjoy forest walks and lovely views.   more Search cottage map of cottages elsewhere in the UK and Ireland
