Heriot
Heriot is a tiny village in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Borders council location, though traditionally in Midlothian). The village consists of some 150 houses, topped a geographical location of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Linked to the rest of the globe mainly with the A7 roadway, Heriot had a train station from 1849 up until the branch line closures initiated by Beeching triggered the track to be boosted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament elected, in 2006, to restore the railway, however without a station at Heriot. The School (as of Sept 2016) has 36 students. There are numerous area teams running in the town consisting of dramatization teams, WRI, a community choir as well as a karate club. Places near to Heriot include Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and Innerleithen.
