If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Robert Smail’s Printing Works

Read all about it...Here’s a piece of printing history right here on Innerleithen High Street. Get your hands inky at this living museum of a thriving printing firm in the Borders, whose premises were more or less unchanged for over a century.
Try your hand at being a printer’s apprentice to learn the almost forgotten art of letterpress printing and typesetting.
Robert Smail’s Printing Works celebrates a vital part of our industrial heritage and social history by giving you a hands-on demonstration of how things were printed not so long ago.
The machinery is kept in good working order as it is still used today for a variety of commercial print jobs, including some of the Trust’s own literature.
