Heriot
Heriot is a tiny town in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Boundaries council area, though historically in Midlothian). The town makes up some 150 residences, spread over a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), the majority of which is moorland. Linked to the rest of the globe mainly with the A7 road, Heriot had a railway station from 1849 till the branch line closures prompted by Beeching caused the track to be uplifted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament elected, in 2006, to reinstate the railway, yet without a station at Heriot. The School (as of Sept 2016) has 36 pupils. There are numerous community teams operating in the town including drama groups, WRI, a neighborhood choir as well as a karate club. Places close to Heriot consist of Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and Innerleithen.
