Rowan Tree is a professional theatre company based in the Scottish Borders, but is available to travel far and wide.

It tours principally to village halls and small theatres in the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway and makes regular appearances at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.  The company has also performed in South Africa and Canada.

In 2007, its production of The Journey of Jeannie Deans was performed in the debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament.  

With its main base at the exquisite and atmospheric Bowhill Theatre, near Selkirk, Rowan Tree has developed a definite style of its own. This may be described as "chamber theatre" - intimate performances in small venues, in which the audience is drawn into the heart of the production, and where classic text - usually in Scots - and virtuoso performances are essential hallmarks.
