IT CHANGED FROM ENGLAND /SCOTLAND
I HAVE BEEN THERE

Note: Berwickshire became part of the new Borders region in 1975, which in turn became the Scottish Borders council in 1996. However historical records used by genealogists and family historians are, in the main, structured around the older counties, like Berwickshire.
