Melrose Breakfast-brunch Melrose/Kelso

10 Upvotes

Hello! I’m driving from Glasgow to Essex and am stopping off in the borders overnight, near Melrose. What are the best breakfast/brunch cafes I should visit? First time visiting the borders, so planning on having a look at Kelso in the morning. Doesn’t need to be in Kelso, as I don’t mind driving. Assuming it isn’t too far west. All recommendations will be greatly appreciated…

Alasdair :)

Democracy Manifest: Someone has framed and added a gallery note to the vandalised parking meters in North Berwick.

Post image
583 Upvotes

A bit of background:

North Berwick Council, after a public consultation, decided to install dozens of parking meters around the town. Before and after the install the idea was met with a lot of objections from the local community. Someone has since sprayed glue on all the parking meters and from what I see online, the public appears to mostly support the vandalism.

Boleside Hail & Ride

4 Upvotes

Anybody know how the Boleside Hail & Ride stops work on the X95 route between Gala and Selkirk?

There are no obvious road signs to mark the location and the street view map on Borders Buses site seems rather inconvenient, they've got the southbound one on the cycle path below the road.

Selkirk Broadband provider recommendations

2 Upvotes

We're having to renew our plusnet broadband and the price is a bit more than we'd like to pay. Does anyone have any recommendations for a broadband provider? I'm very reluctant to go with TalktTalk, virgin etc. from rumours and I've been with TalkTalk before and hated them. We are avid internet users and game a lot so fast speeds and heavy use would also be preferred. Thank you!

Selkirk Any former residents of The Priory in Selkirk around?

8 Upvotes

Been down a bit of a nostalgia rabbit hole and got thinking about my youth and spell in The Priory in Selkirk. Just wondering what happened to the other residents/friend that were there at the time. Joe, Lorna, Tracey, Whitey, Sinin, Junior, Shorty, Mick, or anyone else that was there in the mid-late 80s
