Other places nearby include Ancrum, Ashkirk, Belses, Hassendean, Midlem, Minto House, Old Belses, St Boswells, and Woll. To the north of Lilliesleaf is the Ale Water which runs east to west. To the east of the village is the sports field and where the Ale runs beside it, lies "Postie's Pool." The legend of this pool, passed from child to child in the village, states that a local postie used to ford the river here on the way to the Riddell estate. One day he was crossing the river when he became entangled in the weeds in the pool and drowned. The pool was a popular place during the 1990s for people to cool off during hot weather. The wetland named "The Moss" is to the south of Lilliesleaf as is the Stank - a bridal path used by walkers. This path runs beside what is locally known as the "Elephant House", so named after a travelling circus housed an elephant within its four walls. The field directly to the east of the Stank was home to the best sledging hill in the village. Every winter kids could be seen on sledges, bin bags and even surfboards, trying to see who could go the fastest and furthest, trying to reach the iced frozen overflow from the Moss at the bottom of the field. To the north of the village a single track road - the Wynd - runs down to the Ale. The ford and footbridge across the river can be found at this stretch of the Ale. As can the "Deep Corner" slightly further along and round a bend. This corner was a popular place for cooling off and also for fishing for eels. Near to this was the old rope swing which provided much enjoyment for local children. Lilliesleaf currently has two pubs, the Cross Keys and the Plough. There is also a cafe named "The Jammy Coo" which sells food, drinks, paintings and jewelry. Lilliesleaf has a primary school and one church in current use. There is also a village hall - the Currie Memorial Hall - located next to the school and was at one time opposite a field, now replaced by housing. The village is part of the Selkirk High School catchment area and the local children will generally attend this upon finishing primary school. There is no regular public transport in Lilliesleaf. Lilliesleaf has no shops, but use to have a hardware shop, post office (with a hairdresser in its back room), a pottery and a grocer (Haldane's), all of which closed down in the 1990s. For a short time in the 90s there was also a fishmonger and an antique shop as well but neither lasted long. On Sundays certain local residents took on the responsibility of providing Sunday papers for the village and it was common place to see people queuing at no 5 Muselie Drive for their papers and fresh rolls. After this practice ended there was a number of years before the Sunday papers were once again available in the village. This time they were delivered to people's houses by boys going round the village with the papers in the wooden bogie. The village has one play park at the bottom of Muselie Drive which has seen many changes. {{commonscat}}{{Borders-geo-stub}} 2 : Villages in the Scottish Borders|Parishes in Roxburghshire |
