About Hawick - show infohide info
Hawick is a town in the unitary council region of Scottish Borders in the south of Scotland. It is most well-known for its annual Common Riding, which also commemorates a victory of local youths over an English raiding party in 1514, and which women were only recently allowed to ride in once more. It is one of the furthest towns from the sea in Scotland, in the heart of Teviotdale and the largest town in the former county of Roxburghshire. Hawick lies in the valley of the Teviot at the point the River Slitrig joins it. The A7 Edinburgh to Carlisle road passes through the town, with main roads also leading to Kelso and Newcastle. The town lost its rail service in 1969, but there is a regular bus service to the railway station at Carlisle, 50 miles away. The nearest airports are at Edinburgh and Newcastle. Towns neaby include Galashiels, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Peebles.
