About Hawick

Hawick is a town in the Scottish Borders council area and the historic county of Roxburghshire in the east Southern Uplands of Scotland. It’s located 8.9 miles (14.3 km) south-southeast of Selkirk and 10 miles (16.1 km) south-west of Jedburgh. Located in the middle of Teviotdale, one of the most inland parts of Scotland, it was once the county seat of the historic county of Roxburghshire. The Slitrig Water and the River Teviot meet in the middle of town.

The town was technically founded in the 16th century, but it had been inhabited for centuries prior to that. The town had rapid expansion beginning in the late 17th century, and it continued to do so throughout the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era due to its prominence as a hub for the manufacture of knitted and woven textiles using materials like tweed and cashmere. While the town’s textile industry may have fallen in the latter half of the 20th century, it still serves as a major hub for commerce, tourism, and services in the surrounding area. The majority of Hawick’s buildings are made of sandstone and have slate roofs, making them easily recognizable. There are many historical landmarks, parks, and museums in town. The Alchemy Film & Moving Picture Festival is held every year in town.
