Originally known as The Waverley Hydropathic Hotel, it is owned by the Shearings Hotels group. The address Skirmish Hill, Waverley Road, Melrose, refers to the site of a battle in 1526 at which the young King James V was present as a prisoner of the Douglas Family. The combined forces of the Scotts, Kerrs and Elliots fought unsuccessfully to free the King.
