I like the traquair arms personally.
george, we are staying at cardrona on friday and saturday night.
when we finish riding we usualy go straight to the pub for a few hours then back to the digs at 8pm ish for food and bevvies.
there will be about 15 of us.
where is good mate and within riding distance.
i would go for the traquair arms, then ride back to cardrona along the back road.
what about the pub in walkerburn....
and what is peebles like on a saturday night.
The George is a bit like league of gentlemen. I never go to Peebles, but I think it should be ok.
we stayed in a pub with a guy who walked round the pub with his pet fish and his wife had a wooden leg
best weekend in ages 🙂
jedi that;s Hector and cath at St ronans, did he encourage you to hit his wifes leg with a bottle? spent a mad hogmanay at that place!
thats it. was awesome 🙂 🙂
we got drunk and was going to paint his fish to look like thunderbird 4
Peebles..the pub along from the Indian is ace, very "local" 😉
plenty biker friendly, none English friendly 🙂
Hector makes mean stovies though
What about the Bridge Inn in Peebles? anyone been there?
bridge in has original victoria porcelain toilets, worth a visit just for that!
Walkerburn is one of only 2 places in 25 years of senior rugby where spectators came on the pitch to join in a punch up! They don't like getting beat there, especially when they have drafted in half the Selkirk team to help them out! They are partisan at best, I personally would go somewhere else to drink. Peebles is a good night out by all accounts.
and what is peebles like on a saturday night
We found it quite intimidating. Lots of drunken youth, the pubs are very "local", never felt comfortable in any of them,
I'd avoid the Glentress Hotel: good food, crap bar, really crap rooms. good location though.
MOst Border towns are the same, in fact aren't most British towns like that? When I was a teenager, about twenty years ago, gangs from different Border towns would congregate and kick lumps out of each other and anybody that got in the way or they didn't recognise. There would always be at least one shop needing new windows on a Monday morning in Duns. I think Coldstream, Eyemouth, Kelso etc were the same. Must be different now, probably not that many folk in Peebles nowadays that are Peebles born and (in)bred. I've never seen any bother on Wed eve trips to the chippy, but the boy racers do like to go up and down the high street.
Head to the Barrel (or is it the Keg?) in Peebles for a very Scottish night out. Did not like being English in there...
the neidpath arms has folk nights and give away free sarnies too
Hi Ton,
If you go to Peebles, go to the Trust [Bridge Inn] or
the County for a bit noiser time. The Cross Keys is very quiet these days. The Crown is good but can be intimidating if you are not local. The Keg is a bit of a younger kids club which the Polish like a lot. The Central, avoid as it is a worse version of the Crown. The Tontine, has a cosy bar with log-fire, but you would probably be there yourself, unless there is wedding on.
Traquair Arms is good

Just watch out for late night driving instructors... 😀
Traquair and the Corner House at Inners
County, Cross Keys and The Bridge at Peebles
Dont know the name of it but first pub after you cross the bridge coming out of inners carpark is a must stop at.We have been in there dirtier than Tiger Woods and met with a smile or you can sit outside if its nice.
