No mobile tyre fitter listed in Selkirk yet.

A mobile tyre fitter comes to your home, workplace or roadside to replace, repair or balance your tyres - saving you the trip to a garage and the wait.

Services typically cover puncture repairs, full tyre replacements, seasonal changeovers and emergency callouts when you're stuck with a flat.

In rural Scotland, where the nearest tyre garage can be a long drive away, a mobile fitter is worth knowing about - especially in winter when road conditions make the journey harder.

Selkirk is a Royal Burgh set on a hillside above the Ettrick Water, about six miles south of Galashiels.

The town's Common Riding is one of the largest and most emotionally charged in the Borders, commemorating the Battle of Flodden in 1513.

Sir Walter Scott served as Sheriff of Selkirk for over 30 years and the town's courthouse museum preserves that connection.

Selkirk has a traditional high street, a strong community identity and views across the Ettrick and Yarrow valleys that few Borders towns can match.

The town is within easy reach of Galashiels and the Borders Railway, giving residents access to wider services and Edinburgh connections.

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.
