They sell a lot of souvenirs: scarves, whiskey, sweaters, shirts, pants, cookies, biscuits, etc. If you wanted to get something Scottish, look no further. There is no cell signal here that I could detect so it was pretty much out in BFE. I bought a few acrylic plaid scarves after perusing the textiles. I also tried some whiskey since there was a tasting table with a very nice gentleman pouring spirits. I ended up not buying any whiskey because I wanted to save luggage space.

The food is a bit pricey, but I loved the charcuterie platter that came with multiple dipping oils. The vegetarian platter was also really nice (I would've liked to combine the two!) and the full Scottish breakfast was tasty and very filling! The pancakes, though, were lackluster (but this is coming from an American point of view), not very fluffy or well browned but they did give a heaping amount of bacon. I'd recommend it for a solid, picturesque spot if you're in the area but not necessarily somewhere to go out of your way for.

Catch a No. 31 bus and get off at the Laird and dog - 2-3 mins walk max! This is a favourite local eaterie for me and my friends - very stylish too!

The eggs especially, but also most everything else lacked quite a bit of flavor. I consider myself a bit of a breakfast connoisseur, but since I'm from the states, I might have a different palate than the Scots.

I would the decor was contemporary Scottish and cosy. We sat in the bar area as that was where they allowed dogs. The first table we sat at was a bit in the middle and as Luna (the dog) likes to spread out, they asked if we would like to move to a corner table where she has more room, I really appreciated this thought. I had lamb with potatoes and a jus. The lamb was perfectly cooked and moist. There was a lot of lamb as well, great portion size. My other half had a fish pie which was jam packed with prawns, salmon and white fish. Really fab. It was during desert that they really hit the mark. I ordered a cheese board for us to share. First came the crackers. Something that really annoys me about a cheese board is that you get lots of cheese and then 3 crackers. What you meant to do with that? I usually end up having a ton of cheese and not many crackers! This was not an issue at Burts. They brought a basket of crackers...yes, a basket. I have uploaded a picture to show this delight. The cheese was all local and ymmuy as well. They also serve real ale. My partner complained that one of the ales was off. Without questions, they changed it for something else. This place is maybe a bit more pricey compared to other restaurants in Melrose but I think it is well worth it.

The town is full of historical buildings, but this place is centrally located and had servers that truly wanted to help and serve. I was here for lunch, which was delicious, well priced (as a prix fixe lunch menu existed), and served promptly. Special requests were handled promptly. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Really a great find with wonderful dishes all over the menu and great decor. But it's the truly top notch five star excellent service that I remember the most. Wonderful all around.
