⛩️ Fencer in Ancrum, Scottish Borders
This one’s up for grabs.
About Fencers
A fencer installs and repairs fences, gates and boundary treatments - from standard timber panels and close-board fencing to post-and-rail, stock fencing and bespoke garden screens.
Scotland's weather puts fences under serious pressure, so proper posts set in concrete and treated timber make the difference between a fence that lasts and one that blows over in the first winter.
Check boundary ownership before commissioning any fence work - your title deeds or the Land Register of Scotland will confirm which boundaries are your responsibility.
About Ancrum
Ancrum is a small village on the Ale Water near its meeting with the Teviot, about three miles north-west of Jedburgh.
The Battle of Ancrum Moor, fought nearby in 1545, was a significant Scottish victory during the Rough Wooing.
The village has a green, a handful of stone-built houses and a community that values its quiet, rural character.
Ancrum is within easy reach of Jedburgh, St Boswells and the A68, giving it practical connections despite its small size.
About Scottish Borders
(opens in new tab)The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.
It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns — the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.
Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs — Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk — each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.
The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.
The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby — a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
