Regular Events in and near Rulewater

Local events like whist drives, craft fairs and car boot sales are often advertised on the road side with small signs, while you're here I'd recommend taking a look, you can pick up a hand-made craft unique to the area to take home as a souvenir and momentum of your holiday here.  Regular Car Boot sales are held at Ancrum football pitch, St Boswells village green and Denholm village green, though I don't have a list of dates for these.
