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 many various other Borders abbeys and abbeys) by the soldiers of Henry VIII. The stones of the ruins were pilfered for many other regional buildings leaving only the tower standing amongst the gravestone of the churchyard. One more ancient church in the community is the Cross Kirk, founded in 1261. Although now mainly ruins, the Cross Kirk plays a feature in the local festival. The yearly neighborhood event in Peebles is called the Beltane, and also involves (as with several Borders celebrations) a Common Riding. The Beltane, announced at the cross, culminates with the crowning of the Beltane Queen (a lady selected from one of three neighborhood primary schools) in addition to her court, including the similarity the First and also Secondly Courtiers, Sword Bearer and Standard Bearer; on the action in front of the parish church. The adult principal of the festival is the Cornet, a regional young man chosen by the organising board on a basis of being taken into consideration worthy of representing the town, who after that lugs the town standard for a year. To the west of the community is Neidpath Castle, which can be reached walking through Hay Lodge Park, the course has sights of the castle. The castle is now near the public. On the south side of High Street are the old burgh offices. These include the town's collection, art gallery and neighborhood museum. The structure occupied by these are called the Chambers Institution, being deeded to the community by William Chambers, a participant of the Chambers posting family members who originated in the town. Chambers' house can be located on the oldest road in Peebles-- Biggiesknowe. Peebles is no longer attached to the train network. In years past, the Symington, Biggar as well as Broughton Railway had lines that attached Peebles to Edinburgh as well as Galashiels, with an items station and Peebles and also Peebles West terminals.
