These pictures were taken during a short stay in Hawick at the end of July 2004.
All were shot on a Nikon D100 camera, as high resolution raw images, and reduced to small images for web display.
Most images are available for reproduction as high resolution files at normal rates (except for those taken within English Heritage or Historic Scotland sites.) The pictures on this site only represent a small fraction of those taken, especially of Hawick; please enquire if you want other images.
Please contact me through the comments page to discuss fees and usage. Fees may be waived for suitable non-commercial web use only. Prints are also available for framing.

Four Abbeys Way: Hawick to Selkirk

 
 


A beer. (if not a bottle of "Burns") was very welcome at the end of the walk.

 
 
I didn't try these delicacies - some kind of oat cake.
 
 
A nice butcher's shop front, and down the alley was the local museum
 
 


Alley with free local museum

 
 


The local museum and tourist information centre has a free and well-planned exhibition that gives some idea of what used to be in these houses before conversion, as well as a good clear presentation on the common riding and some well presented material on the history of the region.

It's a better display in many ways than that in Drumlanrigs tower in Hawick, and you don't have to pay.

 
 
Sir Walter Scott - and again there is a free display on him in his former courtroom.
