A new £18m sustainable tourism development in the Tweed Valley is set to bring 50 full-time equivalent jobs created during the works and 25 jobs on-site once it opens.
Forest Holidays has begun groundwork to create 56 cabins at Glentress Forest near Peebles, backed by South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE), which provided £2.6m towards the project, as well as Forestry and Land Scotland.
The company estimates the new location will increase the number of visitors to the Borders by 20,000 per year, with total guest expenditure to off-site facilities expected to generate more than £2m annually.
