![]() Tweedsmuir is the most southern parish in the County of Peebles. It is bordered on three sides by neighbouring counties - the parish of Yarrow in Selkirkshire to the east, Dumfriesshire to the south and Lanarkshire to the west. To the north Tweedsmuir is linked to the rest of Peebleshire by the parish of Drumelzier.

It is now one of the linked Parishes of Upper Tweeddale. Old Parish Records cover the periods:
