Selkirkshire

One of the smaller counties in the Scottish Borders, Selkirkshire is full of traditional homes, countryside retreats, and commercial opportunities. Selkirk has seen steady demand for residential property, with a mix of period townhouses, traditional stone cottages, and modern developments catering to families and professionals. The surrounding countryside, particularly in the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys, attracts buyers looking for rural properties with scenic views and access to outdoor pursuits. Improved transport links to Edinburgh and other parts of the Borders have made the area more appealing to those seeking a quieter lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.

The commercial property market is largely driven by small businesses, retail, and Selkirk’s historic links to textile manufacturing. The town’s business parks provide space for office and industrial use, supporting a growing number of local enterprises. Tourism also plays a role, with hospitality and leisure businesses benefiting from the area’s natural beauty and heritage sites.
