The beautiful Yair House stands above the River Tweed, Selkirkshire, Scottish Borders

Yair House stands in its own grounds on the side of the River Tweed in Selkirkshire. The wing attached to the main building can just be seen behind the trees on the left of the photograph. Sheep graze in the foreground.

Yair House was built in 1788 by Alexander Pringle of Whytbank. It is a square Georgian main block of three storeys and an attic with a wing attached to it. The initials "A. P." and the date of 1788 are carved above the staircase window.

Nearby is Yair Bridge built in 1759, one of 24 bridges over the Tweed which were built in this period due to the development of toll roads. It replaced the river crossing by boat or ford.
