Towns and Villages

The Scottish Borders is unusual in that there is not principal regional centre. Instead there are a number of market towns and villages scattered throughout the region.

The links below provide a variety of information on Borders' settlements. This ranges from guides to town trails and from statistical information to local town web sites:
