Welcome!

This blog is to introduce you to my town - Peebles, in the Scottish Borders - just one photo at a time, with perhaps a little description and maybe some history thrown in. I hope you will find it interesting. The title comes from a historical comment made by someone who preferred Peebles to the great and famous cities. I know how they felt. It's always a pleasure to return here however long you've been away.

If you want to make a comment, ask me a question, or merely just want to say "hello, I've dropped in", you can do that by using the comment section below each entry. (Just click on the word COMMENT and follow instructions. ) I'd love to know what you think of what you see of my town.

I don't have an expensive elaborate camera so the photo quality may not be brilliant, but I'd like to think my pics will please you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to Mary H for the lovely designs I used for my background, and thanks too to all of you who have chosen to support my blog by becoming "followers".

the church tower again


Here's another view of the parish church, built in 1887 to replace an older building that just wasn't big enough at the time. The half timbered building is an Italian restaurant with the Bridge Inn pub (AKA The Trust) below.
The building with the gable visible used to house the police station till very recently.
Tweed Bridge goes off to the left of the picture - you can see the first of the four arches - and Port Brae (or Police Brae to some) descends to Tweed Green alongside the river.
At the foot of the hill is the Rotary Club's fundraising Wishing Well, for kids to throw coins into.
