Roxburghshire

Roxburghshire or the County of Roxburgh (Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Rosbroig) is a registration county of Scotland. It borders Dumfries to the west, Selkirk to the north-west, and Berwick to the north. To the south-east it borders Cumbria and Northumberland in England.

It was named after the Royal Burgh of Roxburgh. Roxburghshire is now within the Scottish Borders council area.

The term Teviotdale was used in the past to define an area which was drained by the River Teviot, the River Tweed and their tributaries, and it is very close to Roxburghshire.
