Book excerpt: As Hawick celebrates the 500th anniversary of the fight at Hornshole, the first stirrings of the defining traditions of the common riding, Alistair Moffat takes the narrative much further back into the mists of prehistory, to the time of the Romans, the coming of the Angles and the Normans. He recounts how Hawick got its name, where the old village stood, who the early barons of Hawick were and then charts the amazing rise of the textile trade, bringing the story right up to the present day. Beneath the familiar streets and closes lies an immense story - the remarkable and unique story of Hawick. If this book shows anything, it shows that Hawick has changed radically over the many centuries since people began to live between the Slitrig and the Teviot. All that experience in one place has created and invented much and the future will turn for the better for a simple reason. Hawick's greatest invention is her people.

Excerpt: ... none of them would venture; upon which the girl herself waded boldly into the house, and got hold of the bag, with the money; bnt, in coming out, she was carried down by the stream. Providence, however, interposed for her safety. She was cast ashore on a green a little below the town, just alive, and the money grasped in both hands so fast, that with some difficulty it was removed. A little above the town three houses were quite covered with water, except the chimney tops; they were in an eddy which saved them." Two lives were lost by the flood at Silver Street. Hawick had another historic landmark in the year 1767, besides the flood, for the Duke of Buccleuch raised an action in the Court of Session against the town of Hawick concerning the extent and limits of Hawick Common. This action was allowed to fall through by mutual consent, and referred to arbitration. The arbitrator being the Hon. James Montgomery, Lord Chief Baron of Exchequer, who, after ten years' negotiation, apportioned fourteen-twentieths to the town and sixtwentieths to the Duke of Buccleuch and other heritors. The arbiter decided that the Common Haugh and Myreslawgreen did not fall to be divided. The award bears date 24th May, 1777. X. "Hawiok shall flourish 'mid dMtrnotloD, Wsb Drnid's dark prediotion; Strange the issues that unrolled it, Cent'riee after he'd foretold it." The portion of the Common that fell to the lot of the town by arbitration consisted of 1075 imperial acres, besides Myreslawgrenn and the Common Haugh. The Magistrates and Councillors resolved at once to make the most of what land was left to them, by having it fenced, and a portion of it at Pilmuir formed into a farm of 250 acres, rented for the good of the town. This procedure was challenged by...
