Center Parcs, the UK and Ireland?s leading premium family short break provider, has today announced it is developing proposals to create its first holiday village in Scotland.

The site chosen for the village is in the Scottish Borders, approximately three miles north of Hawick and 55 miles south of Edinburgh.
