Selkirk
Selkirk is a hilly outpost with a smattering of antiques shops and an assortment of bakers selling Selkirk Bannock (fruited sweet bread) and other cakes. Sir Walter Scott was sheriff (judge) of Selkirkshire from 1800 until his death in 1832, and his statue stands in Market Place. The town is also near Bowhill, a stately home.
