Walkerburn is a small village in the Tweed Valley. It sits on the A72 some 8 miles from Peebles and 10 miles from Galashiels. Founded in 1854 around the mill to house the workers, Walkerburn now has a population of about 660 souls.

AMEC have submitted a new Windfarm proposal - out of site of Walkerburn & A72!
A new organization called National Wind Watch has recently been launched in an effort to give balance to the debate on wind power. Much of what is available to the general public is biased and misleading and NWW hopes to provide facts that will counter many of the claims made by the industrial wind industry and its proponents. Please take a look at their site at www.nationalwindwatch.org
