Melrose in Bloom

2011 has been an amazing year of success for Melrose in Bloom.  Not only did we win Champion of Champions in the Borders Floral Gateway competition but we also won the Large Village Category in Beautiful Scotland and gained a gold award!

Maggie and Quin Dunlop were our representatives at the awards ceremony which was held in Rothesay on the Isle of Bute on 12 September - unfortunately this coincided with the remnants of a tropical storm hitting our shores which caused ferries to be cancelled and wreaked havoc with Beautiful Scotland's arrangements! 

Maggie and Quin had thankfully arranged to get to Rothesay a day in advance and so were present to receive our award and then had to stay an extra day until the ferries were back running.  You can see all our trophies and awards in the window in The Wynd.
