Bed and breakfast in Hawick |

 Bed and breakfast in Hawick. Hawick
is the largest town in the Scottish Borders. It is an interesting
and attractive town with an imposing High Street, a spectacular
Town Hall, and a collection of paths and wynds. It lies on the
River Teviot where it is joined by the Slitrig Water. The power
these rivers provided was central to the growth of the town.
Hawick's story for the last few hundred years has revolved around
textiles. This started with hand knitting of hose in the 1600s:
spun wool and linen was also produced. In the 1700s hand power
was largely replaced by water power and a complex arrangement
of sluices and lades (culverts) was constructed to provide the
town's 50 textile mills with enough water to keep them working.
By 1800 up to 3000 people were employed in Hawick producing hosiery,
carpets and other linen and woollen goods. Also see Hawick. If you are
