About Hawick
HAWICK is the biggest town in the Scottish Borders . It lies on the River Teviot where it is joined by the Slitrig Water . The power its rivers provided was central to the growth of the town.Hawick High Street
Hawick dates back to a settlement founded by the Angles in the 600s. In the 1100s the Lovells, a Norman family, built a large motte here as the base for their wooden castle. The town later suffered significantly in the cross border wars between England and Scotland in the 1300s, 1400s and 1500s.
In 1513 most of the town's men of fighting age were killed at the Battle of Flodden. The following year the town was threatened by a raiding party of English troops. They were fought off by the boys, or "callants" of the town, who captured the English flag.
This event is commemorated by a statue of a horse and rider at the north east end of the High Street: and by the annual "Common Riding", in which several hundred riders gather to ride around the boundaries of the burgh. This takes place in early June each year.
Hawick lost its railway in 1969, though in recent years a vigorous campaign has developed to rebuild the link to Edinburgh as the Borders Railway.
