The Borders Towns

The Borders Towns Collection brings together The Borders Abbey Way, The Textile Towns, and The Merse and Sea to celebrate the communities, landscapes and stories that have shaped the Scottish Borders. From historic market towns and abbey settlements to coastal communities and textile centres, each location has its own unique character and history. Through a carefully curated selection of historic maps, this collection invites you to explore the places that generations have called home and discover how they have changed through time.
