  • Some drone footage filmed over Hawick in October 2020. Hawick, a small town in South Scotland, and famous worldwide for the quality of knitwear produced within the town over the last 250+ years. Sadly many of these old and historic companies are no longer in business with the original factories either going to ruin, or being demolished to make way for new businesses. Music is an original composition written and performed by David Finnie and sang by Deborah Lyons.

      Its far from the best place, its not a bad place to live and it definitely has a lot of history, punching well above its weight

    Closure of the railway did Hawick no favours at all.

      Don't think you'd find anyone in this area that would disagree, hopefully the Borders Railway will eventually reach Hawick, and then onto Carlisle

    As a Teri I do miss the old town, moved away at 18 and only been back a handful of times in 25ish years, looks like it has changed a bit.

    Hawick - the largest town in the Scottish Borders with a small village mentality.
    I had the misfortune to have lived there for almost 3 years and couldn`t wait to leave. Unless, you`re born there or have relatives who live there do not even consider moving there, you`ll never be accepted, even those who`ve been there over 30 years are still treated as incomers.
    The town is full of drunks and junkies with a high street full of pubs, bookies, hairdressers and charity shops. Not exactly an up-market town. Nice enough for a day trip but, not to live there.
