HAWICK AREA
VISITORS GUIDE
Moves with the Times & Celebrates the Past
The largest town in the Borders, Hawick’s existence can
be traced back as far as the 600s. Its setting, on the
River Tweed and the Slitrig Water, was responsible for
the early settlement’s growth, while its close proximity
to the English border, made it a frequent target for cross
border wars between the two countries during the
1300s, 1400s and 1500s. Throughout the nineteenth
century the growth in textile mills put the town firmly on
the map and made Hawick synonymous with fine quality
knitwear – still evident today in brands that have become
fashion statements throughout the world.
A varied property market makes Hawick and the surrounding villages a very desirable place to live. Hawick’s
proximity to the A7 makes it easily accessible to Selkirk,
Galashiels and Melrose, while Newcastle Airport is around
an hour’s drive – add an extra 15 minutes to Edinburgh
Airport.
The opening of the Waverly rail link from
Edinburgh to Tweedbank is likely to further boost
Hawick as a base for commuters.
