In 1913 The Innerleithen Alpine Club was amalgamated with another organisation and became known rather cumbersomely as "The Tweeddale Club for the Study of History and Natural Science". It soon changed its name to "The Tweeddale Society" and has remained so ever since. The Society flourished for 28 years until it was suspended in 1941 during the Second World War, and was later revived in 1967. In 2013 the Society marked the centenary of its foundation by publishing a fully illustrated history. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers.

Heriot is a small village in the Moorfoot Hills southeast of Edinburgh, Scotland, within Eildon (part of the Scottish Borders council area). The village comprises some 150 dwellings, spread over a geographical area of around 50 square miles (130 km2), most of which is moorland. Connected to the rest of the world primarily through the A7 road, Heriot had a railway and station from 1849 until the branch line closures instigated by Beeching caused the track to be uplifted in the 1960s. The Scottish Parliament voted, in 2006, to reinstate the railway, but without a station at Heriot. The School (as of Sept 2006) has 56 pupils. There are numerous community groups operating in the village including drama groups, WRI, a walking group, a community choir and a karate club. Places near to Heriot include Borthwick, Carcant, Crichton, Fala, Stow of Wedale and Innerleithen. (Wikipedia).
