Berwickshire


Berwickshire is a lieutenancy area and historic county in the Scottish Borders. It takes its name from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which was part of Scotland at the time of the county's formation, but became part of England in 1482.
From 1596 to 1890 the county town was Greenlaw. However, this was changed to Duns by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, the act which established the system of county councils in Scotland.
The county borders Roxburghshire and Selkirkshire to the west, East Lothian and Midlothian to the north, the North Sea to the east and a portion of the Anglo-Scottish border with Northumberland to the south.
It lies within Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk (UK Parliament constituency).
==Local Government==

Prior to 1975 Berwickshire contained four burghs and three districts:
*The royal burgh of Lauder
*The burgh of Coldstream
*The burgh of Duns
*The burgh of Eyemouth
The districts of :
*Berwick East
*Berwick Middle
*Berwick West
Berwickshire County Council was abolished by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and the county was instead governed by the Borders Regional Council. This region was divided into four districts, one of which was named Berwickshire District; however its area was not congruent with the county's, with the burgh of Lauder and most of the county's West District included in the Ettrick and Lauderdale District and the parish of Nenthorn included in the Roxburgh District. Beriwckshire District Council remained based in Duns, the old county town.
The system of regions and districts was in turn abolished in 1996 in favour of unitary councils. Berwickshire is now governed by the unitary Scottish Borders Council.
