From COMMERCE.....

There's a surprising diversity of other businesses and organisations located within the estate. Here are some of them:

Borders Forest Trust, established in 1996 to conserve, restore and manage native woodlands and other natural habitats for the benefit of people and wildlife.

Hydraulic Hammer Hire, located at Nisbet Smithy

Woodside Walled Garden was the fruit garden for Monteviot House in days gone by. Now it is an independent nursery full of interesting stock and an excellent cafe using (very) locally grown produce

Harestanes was the home farm for Monteviot House. These days it incorporates several quality designers and craftworkers with workshops open to the public, including  Hunter Art and Tile Studio, Cuero Handbag Designs, Elizabeth Elliott Ceramics and Lilian Busch's contemporary jewellery

 ....to LEISURE

Harestanes Countryside Visitor Centre is a great starting point for visitors of all ages - children's play areas indoors and out, information on Borders wildlife, a programme of activities and exhibitions throughout the year, and signposted walks from the door.

In Crailing Orchard are old varieties of plums, pears and apple trees which once belonged to Crailing Hall. It is now being re-established as a working orchard to conserve old Borders fruit varieties.

The Border Group of Riding for the Disabled have an arena at Monteviot. 

Fishermen can rent rods by the day on the Estate's stretch of the River Teviot, or make a week of it by renting Nisbet Old Schoolhouse with up to six rods

Jedforest Trails is a network of horse riding, mountain biking and walking routes around Jedburgh - everything from a 2.5km walk to a 40km bike ride, much of it across estate land.

In addition there are several long distance walking routes which cross the estate, including St Cuthbert's Way, and the Borders Abbeys Way
