Find peace and tranquillity as you navigate the many interesting walks and cycling paths the estate has to offer, where you can enjoy wildlife, landscape, and the history of the area. Grab one of our leaflets from the salmon viewing centre or download a copy of our map below, which gives you detailed routes. All our walks are a great spot for an adventure for four-legged friends, but please be careful during the breeding season for ground nesting birds (April-July), when entering fields where livestock are present and we pride ourselves at keeping the Estate clean and tidy, so please remember to take your litter home.

We are always keen to see photos from your walks so please share them and tag us @philiphaughestate.

The Battle of Philiphaugh, a site of a fierce and bloody battle, was fought during the wars of the three kingdoms between the royalist army of The Marquis of Montrose, who was destroyed by the Convenanters army of Sir David Leslie on the 13th September 1645. The Convenaters were supporters of the Scottish Presbyterian faith, which was under threat from Charles I. The Royalists were supporters of the Crown and willing to defend the King’s rule.

The Marquis of Montrose marched to Selkirk on 12th September hoping to recruit more soldiers to the Royalist cause. He spent the night along with most of his officers in Selkirk town leaving the rest of his troops camped in the fields at Philiphaugh. General Leslie having been informed about the location of Montrose’s army made a surprise attack during the early morning mist of 13th September 1645…

Come visit us and as you follow the battlefield walk and learn how it unfolded, take yourself back to that day and imagine the scene… How would you distinguish between friend and foe in the frenzy of bloodlust?
