Clovenfords

The village boasted a smithy, a post office and a handful of cottages when Galashiels was only a hamlet dependent on Clovenfords for its mail deliveries and news from the outside world.

The first expansion of the village took place when William Thomson established the Vineries where he grew table grapes which were sold throughout the country.

A new primary school was opened in Clovenfords in 2012, replacing the old building at Caddonfoot which dated back to 1840.

[7] Caddonfoot Hall is located 1 mile (2 kilometres) south of Clovenfords and hosts regular activities for the people of the village, including Scottish country dancing, yoga, badminton and a children's playgroup.

The hall was given to the people of Caddonfoot Parish in 1929 by Lady Louisa Mary Anderson of Yair House, and is managed by a committee of user group representatives.
