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 earliest building in Peebles is the tower of St Andrew's Church. The church was founded in 1195. It was damaged (in addition to numerous various other Borders abbeys and priories) by the soldiers of Henry VIII. The rocks of the damages were taken for lots of other regional structures leaving only the tower standing amongst the marker of the churchyard. An additional old church in the community is the Cross Kirk, established in 1261. Although now mainly ruins, the Cross Kirk plays a prominent part in the neighborhood festival. The yearly regional event in Peebles is called the Beltane, and includes (similar to lots of Borders festivals) an Usual Riding. The Beltane, proclaimed at the cross, finishes with the crowning of the Beltane Queen (a girl selected from among three neighborhood primary schools) together with her court, consisting of the similarity the First as well as Secondly Courtiers, Sword Bearer and Standard Bearer; on the action in front of the parish church. The adult principal of the celebration is the Cornet, a neighborhood young man selected by the organising board on a basis of being thought about worthy of representing the town, who after that carries the town standard for a year. To the west of the community is Neidpath Castle, which can be reached on foot through Hay Lodge Park, the course has sights of the castle. The castle is currently closed to the public. On the south side of High Street are the old burgh offices. These integrate the town's library, art gallery and also regional museum. The building inhabited by these are called the Chambers Institution, being deeded to the town by William Chambers, a participant of the Chambers publishing family that originated in the town. Chambers' home can be discovered on the oldest street in Peebles-- Biggiesknowe. Peebles is no more linked to the railway network. In years past, the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Train had lines that attached Peebles to Edinburgh as well as Galashiels, with a products station as well as Peebles as well as Peebles West terminals. Historically Peebles and also the Scottish borders have been the location of several fabrics businesses.
