Upper Ashtrees is situated close to the foot of the Cheviot Hills, a short distance north of the border with England. The surrounding countryside is spectacular, both in its extent and scale, and provides a wonderful backdrop. The historic Royal Burgh of Jedburgh lies approximately 4 miles to the north and is a bustling town with a full range of services including
primary and secondary schooling. The Cheviot Hills and the Border Lands are well known for the high-quality livestock they produce. Farming needs are well catered for in the area with a number of agricultural suppliers, grain merchants, contractors and engineers. Livestock markets are held regularly at Newtown St Boswells, Wooler, Longtown and Hexham.

The landscape is famous for its incredible beauty, its diverse wildlife and the wealth of sporting and recreational opportunities it has to offer. This part of the south of Scotland is famous for some of the finest shooting and fishing
in the country, as well as for its strong equestrian tradition. Edinburgh and Newcastle have main line railway stations which, together with the A68, provide excellent communication links to both north and south. There are
regular scheduled flights from Edinburgh and Newcastle to a number of UK and European destinations.
