Peebles
Peebles is a royal burgh in Peeblesshire, of which it is the county town, within the Scottish Borders region. According to the 2011 census, the population was 8,376. The oldest building in Peebles is the tower of St Andrew's Church. The church was founded in 1195. It was damaged (together with lots of various other Borders abbeys as well as priories) by the soldiers of Henry VIII. The stones of the ruins were swiped for several other local buildings leaving only the tower standing among the marker of the cemetery. Another old church in the town is the Cross Kirk, founded in 1261. Although currently primarily ruins, the Cross Kirk plays a feature in the local celebration. The annual local celebration in Peebles is called the Beltane, and involves (as with several Borders events) a Common Riding. The Beltane, declared at the cross, culminates with the crowning of the Beltane Queen (a girl chosen from among three neighborhood primary schools) along with her court, including the likes of the First and also Second Courtiers, Sword Bearer and Standard Bearer; on the steps in front of the parish church. The adult principal of the festival is the Cornet, a neighborhood boy chosen by the arranging committee on a basis of being considered worthwhile of standing for the town, that then carries the community requirement for a year. To the west of the community is Neidpath Castle, which can be reached walking through Hay Lodge Park, the route has views of the castle. The castle is currently near to the public. On the south side of High Street are the old burgh workplaces. These incorporate the town's library, art gallery and also regional gallery. The building inhabited by these are called the Chambers Institution, being deeded to the town by William Chambers, a participant of the Chambers posting family members that came from the community. Chambers' home can be located on the oldest street in Peebles-- Biggiesknowe. Peebles is no longer linked to the train network. In years past, the Symington, Biggar as well as Broughton Railway had lines that attached Peebles to Edinburgh and Galashiels, with a goods station and also Peebles as well as Peebles West stations. Historically Peebles and also the Scottish borders have been the place of many fabrics organisations. Still today, March Street Mills is the place of Robert Noble together with its sis business Replin Fabrics.
