Borders. From 1973, an administrative region of Scotland, comprising the counties of Berwick, Peebles, Roxburgh, and Selkirk and a small part of Midlothian; these counties together, historically, formed much of the frontier zone facing England. From 1973 to 1996 it shared local government functions with its districts of Berwickshire, Ettrick and Lauderdale, Roxburgh and Tweeddale, but in 1996 it became an all-purpose local authority. A hilly area, its economy has continued to be dominated by sheep-farming and textile-manufacturing and services, with a growing presence of tourism attracted by its legends (perpetuated in the border ballads), its castles and abbeys, its peaceful countryside, and its small towns.
