Roxburghshire

Scotland

Roxburghshire shares 69 connections with 1529 other places across 17 topics, with parliamentary records, border history, and natural geography forming the core. Government connections are dominant, rooted in its role in Scottish and UK parliamentary records. Its history ties trace to the Anglo-Scottish Wars, when the county was fought over before the border settled with the Treaty of York in 1237, giving rise to the Border Reivers. Edinburgh and London are its most-shared co-connected places. A science thread links to Francis Baily, who observed solar eclipse phenomena at Inch Bonney in 1836.
