White Cottage sits in the charming village of Appletreehall, around one and a half miles from Hawick, the largest of the Border towns, with a population of over 14,000 that lies on the banks of the River Teviot.
The town is famous for its common riding, rugby and fine cashmere companies such as Hawick Cashmere, Johnstons of Elgin, William Lockie, The Lovat Mill and the Borders Distillery all enjoying a resurgence in the town under the banner 'Famously Hawick'. The town also provides an extensive choice of amenities ranging from a leisure centre, a variety of specialist independent shops including large supermarkets, and a selection of restaurants and hotels, mostly situated around the High Street area of town.
The annual Common Riding, which is one of the oldest Border festivals combines the annual riding of the boundaries of the town's common land with the commemoration of a victory over an English raiding party in 1514. Hawick is also well known for its rugby at Mansfield Park, home of Hawick Rugby Football Club, plus its events in the town which include the Summer Festival and the Hawick Reivers Festival. Local attractions include the Borders Textile Towerhouse, the Borders Distillery and Wilton Lodge Park, offering fabulous riverside and tree-lined walks, as well as a walled garden. The Hawick Museum and Scott Gallery also detail the town's history and provide a venue for visiting exhibitions.
There are also a variety of outdoor pursuits across the region that include fishing on the River Teviot and River Tweed, fieldsports, horse riding, golf with a course in Hawick, lawn bowling, mountain biking, and a selection of nearby walks including the Southern Upland Way, St. Cuthbert's Way and The Borders Abbeys Way.
There is also a good choice of primary schools available with secondary schooling at Hawick High School. The highly regarded independent St. Mary's Prep School in Melrose also offers options for children between the ages two to thirteen.
