Tweeddale East sits in the heart of the Scottish Borders in Scotland, centred on the market town of Peebles and the winding valley of the River Tweed. The ward combines lowland river scenery with the rounded hills of the southern uplands, making it a popular base for walking, cycling and the famous Tweed salmon and trout fishing.
Locally there’s a strong sense of history and community - Peebles retains independent shops, festivals and the Common Riding tradition, while nearby ruins such as Neidpath Castle speak to the area’s past. The economy mixes agriculture, forestry and tourism with small-scale manufacturing and craft businesses, and many residents commute within an easy drive of Edinburgh, keeping a balance between rural life and access to the city.
