Among the open uplands of Saughtree, where raiders hid their stolen stock long ago, are prehistoric settlement sites, Elliot and Armstrong homesteads, ancient trackways and the stream where three mediaeval stone crosses were found. The line of the Border itself is just along the road, offering a good hill-walking expedition in this particular section. In addition to Kielder, Hermitage Castle, Jedburgh and its Abbey, the central Border area and the Roman Wall are all within easy distance. Of special interest is a collection of Waverley Route railway memorabilia, which includes a Newcastleton Station platform seat and the Steele Road Station clock. The museum is also the venue for visiting exhibitions and other special events.
