Hawick Archaeological Society
Formed in 1856 and run as a charitable enterprise, the Hawick Archaeological Society is one of Scotland’s oldest and most distinguished historical societies. We have done much to keep alive and foster an interest in the antiquities of the Borders, and to preserve and hand down everything that is of great value regarding the customs of the people, as well as the history of many of the more notable characters and inhabitants of the town and district.
