Kelso, Melrose, Hawick, Galashiels and the mill towns along the Tweed.
Stone-built and old, with narrow wynds and closes in the burgh centres. The mill towns have tight terraces; the countryside has farmhouses and steadings with a great deal in them.
Northumberland is over the hill and we work both sides on the same runs.
Confirmation, not probate
Scottish estates go through confirmation rather than probate. The document has a different name and a different shape, and an executor searching for English forms will not find what they need. It changes nothing about how we work: we invoice the executor, the solicitor or the estate, there is no deposit, and payment can come from the estate once it settles.
