In Focus
You can find Harmony
Garden a little to the north-west of Melrose Abbey, on the northern
edge of Melrose itself. To reach it you cross Abbey Street from the
abbey's visitor centre and follow it to the corner of St
Mary's Road. The gated entrance to Harmony Garden is set into the corner,
on your left. Harmony Garden is the garden of Harmony House, and like
the nearby Priorwood Garden is in the care of the National Trust for
Scotland. ( More

Featured Book
A Tangled Web by Ken Lussey (15 November 2023).
A fast-paced thriller set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson returns to Sutherland to help local GP Jenny Mackay investigate the death
of her husband. The authorities say it was suicide but she’s convinced he was murdered. It soon becomes clear that Iain Mackay lied to
everyone who thought he loved them: especially his wife and his daughters. But that becomes the least of their problems when they come up
against people who have already killed and would have no qualms about killing again.
