Introducing Borders
|
Located in the south east of Scotland and formed in the reorganisation of 1975 this region has Newton St Boswells as its administrative centre. The region is quiet and peaceful in contrast to it's past when great and bloody battles were fought with the English from the South.
Some forestry is found in the region but the land is predominantly used for a wide range of agricultural pursuits. The proximity of Edinburgh, which is less than an hours drive away, means that the region is also accessible for tourists. The River Tweed which passes through the region is known as one of the greatest salmon rivers of the world and the Border regions turbulent past has left many attractions for the visitor.
