Heriot
Heriot is a small village in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Borders council location, though historically in Midlothian). The town makes up some 150 homes, spread over a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Attached to the rest of the globe mainly through the A7 road, Heriot had a railway station from 1849 up until the branch line closures prompted by Beeching caused the track to be boosted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament voted, in 2006, to renew the train, but without a station at Heriot. The School (as of Sept 2016) has 36 pupils. There are numerous community groups operating in the village including drama groups, WRI, a neighborhood choir and a martial arts club. Places near to Heriot include Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and also Innerleithen.
