Stow is an excellent centre for touring and discovering the Scottish Borders. This is a land of legend, mystery and history lying as it does at the Border of Scotland and England it has seen many turbulent events, many of which are still remembered in the local historical festivals eg Lauder Common Riding in July. Rich in castles and stately homes eg Floors, Traquair, Abbotsford and Thirlestane, to mention but a few, all open to visitors. The pleasant border towns eg Melrose and Peebles are in easy reach of Stow. The borders is the centre of the cashmere and wool industry and many mills have their own shops where prices can be lower than in city tourist shops. Edinburgh, Scotland's majestic capital city is within easy reach by public transport or by car. There is something of interest for everybody in Edinburgh surely one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, and not to be missed on a visit to Scotland. Stay in the country and visit Edinburgh.

STOW OF WEDALE Located beside the Gala Water on the A7 road 7 miles (11 km) North of Galashiels or 25 miles (40 km) South of Edinburgh between the Moorfoot and Lammermuir Hills. Formerly one of Scotland's original seats of sanctuary, it is a quiet village which was once linked to St Andrews and was the location of its Bishop's summer residence. Stow was built around the Church of St Mary which was consecrated in 1242 but there was an earlier church here at Torsonce dating from the 7th century AD. Our Lady's Well which was used by these early Christians has recently been renovated and can be visited by a pleasant walk along the riverside. Legend and some historical evidence says that King Arthur fought a bloody battle in the valley of Wedale where the village now lies. The pack-horse bridge was constructed by public subscription around 1650 with a low parapet to allow burdened horses to cross in safety. Since it was the lowest bridging point on the Gala Water/Tweed river complex it was this bridge which gave Stow its early prosperity. In the nineteenth century Stow was important in the woollen and agricultural industries but the decline in both results in Stow being a dormitory village for Edinburgh and the borders towns
