The Scottish Borders,
often referred to simply as the Borders, is one of 32 local
government council areas of Scotland. It is bordered by Dumfries and
Galloway in the west, South Lanarkshire and West Lothian in the
north west, City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian to the
north; and the non-metropolitan counties of Northumberland and
Cumbria in England to the south and east. The administrative centre
of the area is Newtown St. Boswells.
The area was created in 1975, by merging the former counties of
Berwickshire, Peeblesshire, Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire and part
of Midlothian, as a two-tier region with the districts of
Berwickshire, Ettrick and Lauderdale, Roxburgh, and Tweeddale within
it. In 1996 the region became a unitary authority area and the
districts were wound up. The region was created with the name
Borders. Following the election of a shadow area council in 1995 the
name was changed to Scottish Borders with effect from 1996.[
The Scottish Borders are located in the Eastern part of the Southern
Uplands.
The region is hilly, with the River Tweed flowing west to east
through the region. In the east of the region the area that borders
the River Tweed is flat and is known as 'The Merse'. The Tweed and
its tributaries drain the entire region with the river flowing into
the North Sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed, and forming the border with
England for the last twenty miles or so of its length.
The term Central Borders refers to the area in which the majority of
the main towns of Galashiels, Selkirk, Hawick, Jedburgh, Earlston,
Kelso, St Boswells, Newtown St Boswells, Melrose and Tweedbank are
located.
