Earlston is a small market town in the Scottish Borders of Scotland, set on the banks of the River Leader, a tributary of the River Tweed. Its compact centre of stone buildings and market heritage hints at medieval roots, while the surrounding rolling farmland and nearby landmarks such as the Leaderfoot Viaduct and the Eildon Hills give it a distinctly Borders character.
Today Earlston combines agriculture and small local businesses with a commuter element towards larger centres like Galashiels and Edinburgh. Community life is lively for a town of its size, with sports clubs (notably the local rugby club), seasonal shows and gatherings that reflect long-standing Borders traditions and a strong local identity.
