Scottish Borders

Scottish Borders shown within Scotland

Scottish Borders is a local government area in southern Scotland. It was created in 1975 as a region called Borders with four subsidiary districts. The region had replaced the former counties of Berwickshire, Peeblesshire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire and part of Midlothian. In 1996 the districts were abolished, and Borders, now called Scottish Borders, became a unitary authority.

Lothian and Borders Police, covering the Lothian and Borders regions, was replaced in 2013 by the Police Service of Scotland.
