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 comprises some 150 houses, topped a geographical location of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Linked to the rest of the world largely through 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 railway, yet without a station at Heriot. The School (since Sept 2016) has 36 pupils. There are numerous area groups operating in the village including drama teams, WRI, a neighborhood choir as well as a martial arts club. Places near to Heriot consist of Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale as well as Innerleithen.
