About Oxton

  • Oxton sits in the valley of the Leader Water, which flows south from the Lammermuir Hills through Lauderdale to join the Tweed at Leaderfoot. The village is a quiet agricultural community, with a parish church, a village hall, and a scattering of farms and cottages. The A68, which passes through the village, is the main road between Edinburgh and the Borders.
  • The Leader Water at Oxton is a good trout stream, and the pools below the village are popular with fly fishers in the summer. The river is managed by the Leader Angling Association, and day tickets are available for visitors. The river valley is a pleasant walking area, with a network of paths along the riverbank.
  • The Lammermuir Hills to the east of Oxton are managed primarily for grouse shooting, and the heather moorland supports populations of red grouse, curlew, golden plover, and short-eared owl. The hills are also important for birds of prey, including merlin, peregrine, and hen harrier. The views from the high ground above the village take in the full sweep of the Borders from the Cheviot Hills to the Moorfoot Hills.
  • Oxton is within easy reach of Thirlestane Castle at Lauder — one of the finest Renaissance castles in Scotland — and of the Borders Railway at Stow. The village is a quiet, self-contained community with a strong sense of local identity, and the surrounding countryside is some of the finest walking and cycling country in the Borders.
