Eildon said the affordable homes are being built to high standards and will benefit from air source heat pumps which is part of a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

A spokesperson added: “The 80 new homes at High Buckholm form a key part of Eildon’s development programme to deliver a record-breaking expansion of housing and care services for our communities in the Scottish Borders. This is all part of our strategy to invest in excess of £120 million in the Borders economy bringing much needed jobs, regeneration and 750 affordable new homes.”
