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. Center Parcs continues to see significant demand for domestic short breaks, and the expansion into Scotland would provide customers with a new site to explore. The site chosen for the village is in the Scottish Borders, approximately three miles north of Hawick and 55 miles south of Edinburgh. The site is well-located and would provide significant benefits to the local economy in Scotland, including job creation. Proposals are at an early stage and Center Parcs intends to submit a planning application in 2025.
