| | | | |
| − | The county of Berwickshire has seen several boundary changes over hundreds of years, the county town used to be Berwick-upon-Tweed however Berwick had transferred to neighbouring Northumberland in England hence the strange situation where the county name does not relate to a town within the boundary. Berwickshire was (and still is) a largely rural county, the largest towns of Duns and Coldstream are relatively small places even now. Eyemouth is a small coastal town from where a fishing fleet provided employment for many years though this has declined in recent years.<br> | + | ---- |
| − | Coldstream is the birthplace of the Coldstream Guards though the regiment has long since been based in England.<br>
