Berwickshire was a border county in the south
east of Scotland. The county takes its name from the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed,
which is now in England. Berwickshire included the burghs of Coldstream,
Duns, Eyemouth and Lauder. Berwickshire County Council was established
by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking over powers
from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust, and other local
authorities. The County Council was abolished in 1975 by the Local
Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and the former county became part
of Borders Region. The current local authority is the Scottish Borders
Council.
