Heriot
Heriot is a little town 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 dwellings, spread over a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Attached to the rest of the globe mainly with the A7 roadway, Heriot had a railway station from 1849 up until the branch line closures prompted by Beeching caused the track to be boosted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament elected, in 2006, to reinstate the train, yet without a station at Heriot. The School (as of Sept 2016) has 36 pupils. There are numerous neighborhood teams running in the village including dramatization 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 and also Innerleithen.
