Tweedsmuir Community Council was established in January 2015 and is gradually developing its role in the local community.
We will consult with local residents on a range of issues, represent our community to Scottish Borders Council and the Scottish Government, and act as a local forum for local events, initiatives and interests.
For more about the role of Community Councils, see the Community Councils Scotland website.

Lesley Mason
Lesley moved to Tweedsmuir in 2001, and loves the area and the strong sense of Community Tweedsmuir has. I live here with my husband Andrew, and my 3 children. I have a small flock of black Hebridean sheep that you will see at the T junction. I am currently the community development officer for Tweedsmuir, but also work part time for the charity, “The Royal Highland Education Trust” where she facilitates school visits to working farms to allow pupils to learn where their food comes from.
