No sawmill listed in Hawick yet.

A sawmill processes raw logs into seasoned timber, sleepers, beams, cladding and firewood - typically working with locally felled hardwoods like oak, ash and beech alongside softwood from managed forestry.

Kiln-dried timber is moisture-controlled for indoor use; air-dried timber suits external work but takes longer to season - ask which you need before ordering.

Many sawmills also stock kindling, hardwood logs by the cube or sack and bespoke milled lengths for joinery or fencing - call ahead for stock, especially in winter.

Hawick is the largest town in the Scottish Borders, sitting at the confluence of the Teviot and Slitrig rivers in the heart of Teviotdale.

It was the centre of Scotland's knitwear and tweed industry for over two centuries - brands like Pringle of Scotland, Lyle & Scott and Peter Scott all originated here.

The annual Common Riding is one of the oldest and most passionately observed traditions in Scotland, commemorating a 1514 skirmish where local youths captured an English flag.

Hawick has a strong rugby culture, a working high street and a community identity that runs deeper than most towns its size.

The town sits on the A7 about 50 miles south of Edinburgh, with the Borders Railway at Tweedbank extending the public transport reach northward.

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
