Heriot
Heriot is a small town in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Borders council location, though historically in Midlothian). The village comprises some 150 dwellings, topped a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), a lot of which is moorland. Connected to the remainder of the globe primarily with the A7 roadway, Heriot had a train station from 1849 until the branch line closures initiated by Beeching created the track to be uplifted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament voted, in 2006, to reinstate the train, however without a station at Heriot. The School (since Sept 2016) has 36 students. There are numerous community teams running in the town consisting of dramatization teams, WRI, a neighborhood choir and a karate club. Places close to Heriot include Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and Innerleithen.
