This ward sits in the heart of the Scottish Borders, centred on the market town of Hawick and the neighbouring village of Denholm. The landscape is characterised by the valley of the River Teviot, surrounding rolling farmland and upland moor, giving a very scenic, rural feel despite the town’s role as a local hub.
Hawick has a long history as a textile and knitwear centre and retains much of that industrial and retail character alongside lively community traditions such as the annual Common Riding and a strong rugby culture. Denholm is markedly smaller, with traditional stone cottages clustered around a village green; together the communities combine agriculture, small businesses and heritage tourism with a close-knit social life typical of the Borders.
