Cardrona, Scottish Borders
Cardrona is a village on the A72 and B7062, between Peebles and Innerleithen, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. Places nearby include Glentress, Kirkburn, Scottish Borders, Kirkhouse, Traquair, and Walkerburn. History In 1999 local farmer Tom Renwick spent £5m on the development of Cardrona, a small village to be created near the town of Peebles. There was controversy towards the project because people felt that it would destroy the view of the River Tweed and the hills that surround it but the development of the village went ahead. Roughly 220 houses were built around the Cardrona area, and the last street was named "Renwick Lane" after its founder. A hotel now known as the MacDonald Hotel was built later on, along with a golf course. In the late 2000s Cardrona got a PlayPark built inside of the small patch of land near Govan's Way. In 2010 Cardrona got a Pump Track after winning a competition in the Scottish Borders. It was built in August 2010 and then got r ...
