The town itself provides a good range of amenities including independent shops, cafés, primary and secondary schooling, medical facilities, and leisure options, all serving a welcoming and close-knit community.

The wider Berwickshire region is renowned for its unspoilt scenery, picturesque villages, and beautiful coastline. Often described as one of Scotland’s hidden gems, the area boasts dramatic clifftop walks, sandy beaches, and peaceful harbours along the Berwickshire Coast Path, all within easy reach. The surrounding countryside is ideal for outdoor pursuits such as walking, cycling, riding, and fishing, while the region’s rich agricultural heritage adds to its timeless rural character.
