Melrose is a historic market town in the Scottish Borders region, situated at the foot of the Eildon Hills. The town is primarily known for the magnificent ruins of Melrose Abbey, founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks. This architectural masterpiece is believed to be the burial place of Robert the Bruce's heart. The town has preserved much of its medieval character through its ancient streets and historic buildings.

Beyond its religious heritage, Melrose played a significant role in Border history and culture. The town maintains strong cultural traditions, including the Melrose Sevens rugby tournament, which began in 1883 and helped establish rugby sevens as a popular sport. Today, Melrose combines its rich historical legacy with a vibrant local community, offering visitors insights into both Scotland's past and present.
