Welcome to Innerleithen, an original and friendly place. Our town is the eighth largest settlement in the Scottish Borders and is situated near the junction of Leithen Water and the River Tweed in the eastern part of Tweeddale (see map for location).
The Innerleithen Online web site has been created by Innerleithen and District Community Council to provide information about this beautiful corner of Scotland.
This area of the Tweed Valley is an excellent centre for golf, fishing, mountain biking and walking and the Southern Upland Way is also within easy reach. There is a busy events calendar throughout the year which includes musical events, festivals and sporting pursuits, so there are lots to see and do. We also have an amazing array of local organisations which cater for a wide variety of interests and who welcome new members.
Schooling is provided at the excellent St Ronan's Primary School which also has a pre-school nursery.
There are good links with Peebles (6 miles) and Galashiels (12 miles) with Glasgow and Edinburgh also within easy reach. The B709 coming from Heriot in the north (14 miles) via Leithen Valley also passes through the town before proceeding south via Traquair to Yarrow Valley and St. Mary's (15 miles).
Innerleithen Online offers web space to local hotels, businesses and organisations within the Innerleithen area, so if you want to have your business featured here then please get in touch, or you can add it to the Business Directory at no additional cost.
Local events organisers can list their key events free of charge in the What's On section and local news intimations can be added in the Community News section.
For more information about our town please see the Innerleithen section in Key Centres.
