Encyclopedia : P : PE : PEE : Peeblesshire



 

Peeblesshire (Siorrachd nam Pùballan in Gaelic) was a county in Scotland. Its main town was Peebles, and it bordered Midlothian to the north, Selkirkshire to the east, Dumfriesshire to the south, and Lanarkshire to the west.

After the local government reorganisation of 1974 the use of the name Peeblesshire was discontinued, and the area was governed as the district of Tweeddale.
