About Walkerburn
- Walkerburn was founded in 1854 by Henry Ballantyne, who built the Tweedvale Mill and the village around it to house his workers. Ballantyne's mill produced high-quality woollen cloth for the export market, and the village was designed as a model industrial community, with a school, a church, and a reading room provided for the workers. The mill closed in the 1990s, but the village retains its Victorian character.
- The River Tweed at Walkerburn is one of the finest salmon fishing rivers in Scotland, and the pools below the village are among the most productive on the middle Tweed. The Tweed is a spate river, and the best fishing is in autumn when the salmon are running upstream to spawn. The river is managed by the River Tweed Commission, which has overseen a remarkable recovery in salmon stocks since the 1990s.
- The Tweed Valley Forest Park, which extends across the hills above Walkerburn, offers some of the finest walking and mountain biking in the Borders. The forest roads and trails connect Walkerburn to Innerleithen and Peebles, and the views from the high ground above the village take in the full sweep of the Tweed Valley from the Eildon Hills to the Moorfoot Hills.
- The Scottish Museum of Woollen Textiles, which was based in Walkerburn for many years, told the story of the Borders textile industry from the medieval period to the present day. The museum's collection of historic looms, samples, and trade records documented the industry that shaped the landscape and communities of the Borders for centuries. The collection has since been dispersed to other museums in the region.
