Heriot
Heriot is a tiny village in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Boundaries council location, though traditionally in Midlothian). The town consists of some 150 homes, topped a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Linked to the remainder of the world mainly with the A7 road, Heriot had a railway station from 1849 until the branch line closures initiated by Beeching caused the track to be uplifted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament elected, in 2006, to renew the train, but without a station at Heriot. The School (since Sept 2016) has 36 students. There are numerous area groups running in the town including dramatization groups, WRI, an area choir and a karate club. Places close to Heriot include Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and Innerleithen.
