Old photograph of people and horses in Drumlanrig Square, Hawick, Scotland. Tour Scottish Borders. Hawick is in the historic county of Roxburghshire in the east Southern Uplands. It is located 10 miles south west of Jedburgh and 9 miles south south east of Selkirk. It is one of the farthest towns from the sea in Scotland, in the heart of Teviotdale, and the biggest town in the former county of Roxburghshire. Hawick's architecture is distinctive in that it has many sandstone buildings with slate roofs. The town is at the confluence of the Slitrig Water with the River Teviot. Hawick is known for its yearly Common Riding, for its rugby team Hawick Rugby Football Club and for its knitwear industry.
