For the energetic, don't miss a climb up Tinto Hill 6 miles away. Further afield, you will find walks at Clyde Valley Woodlands, Dawyck Botanic Gardens, and Cartland Craigs. For an interesting day out, visit New Lanark. Or for more amenities and attractions head over to the bustling city of Edinburgh where there are many amazing historic sites including Edinburgh Castle, Craigmillar Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and a fantastic museum where you can learn more about the local history and heritage. Or travel to Glasgow where you can visit the world-renowned Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Explore Scotland with a stay at 6 Kirkstyle.

The town of Biggar on the edge of Scotland’s Southern Uplands is believed to have been inhabited since prehistoric times, and the present A702 is on the line of the former Roman road, linking the fort at Musselburgh with the Clyde Valley. The Normans followed in the 12th century and Biggar Burn was finally bridged, providing the first permanent crossing. The town today, with the market place at its centre, retains the linear layout showing the historical importance of the A702. It has many shops, cafes and bars and is particularly renowned for its collection of museums reflecting the history of notable individuals from the area. Visit the Moat Park Heritage Centre in a disused church for a flavour of Biggar’s history. With both the Southern Upland hills, the Borders town of Peebles and cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh all within easy reach, Biggar has something for everyone.

  • Shona

    Loved the decor and so cosy having a log burner. Had everything you need. Right in the middle of Biggar with so many lovely shops and a great pub walking distance. Lovely private garden which our doggy loved. The bed was so comfy and had a beautiful bathroom with the best walking shower. Will definitely be back. Live Biggar.

    Had everything we needed. Would definitely return.

  • Julie

    The kitchen appeared to have anything you would need, although we chose not to cook much while we were there. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. We will definitely be back.
