Hawick Attractions
Hawick (pop. 15,700) is the biggest town in the Borders region and lies 11mi/17.6km to the west of Jedburgh. It is an important textiles center and is closely linked with the fashionable names of Pringle, Braemar and Peter Scott. The equestrian statue in the High Street commemorates the recapture of the town flag after the Battle of Flodden Field (1513). The museum, opened in 1995 in Drumlanrig's Tower, documents the effect of the turbulent Middle Ages on the region.
Hermitage Castle
The huge fortress of Hermitage Castle (10mi/16km south of Hawick) was built during the 13th/14th C and has an unusual H-shaped layout. The castle is best known for Mary Stuart's daring ride to see her lover Bothwell.
