Peebles
Peebles ( gd, Na Pùballan) is a town in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. It was historically a royal burgh and the county town of Peeblesshire. According to the 2011 census, the population was 8,376 and the estimated population in June 2018 was 9,000.

Notable buildings in the town include the Old Parish Church of Peebles and Neidpath Castle. Other local attractions include ...
