Thanks for your help Richard, We are staying in Peebles on Friday night and we can get there OK by bus. We are looking for something in Selkirk or Galashiels on Saturday night, there are a few weddings that night and the hotels we have called are full. Sunday night is OK there are vacancies everywhere.
