Map of the UK

Greenlaw is a small rural town in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, historically the county town of Berwickshire. Set amid rolling farmland and low hills between the coast and the Lammermuir Hills, it retains a compact market-square character with civic buildings that reflect its former administrative role.

The local economy is largely agricultural with a handful of small businesses and a community focus on village life; the area is popular for walking and enjoying the Borders countryside. Its historic status as a county town and the surviving civic architecture give Greenlaw a quietly distinctive identity within the wider Border region.
