[1] Tweedmouth has historically always been part of England, in contrast to the walled town of Berwick which came under Scottish control for several periods in the Middle Ages.

[8] There is a procession from Berwick town hall across the Old Bridge to Tweedmouth where the incoming Salmon Queen is crowned.

The bridge was built by order of James VI and I, and formed part of the Great North Road between London and Edinburgh.

[11] The Tweed Dock officially opened in October 1876, replacing the older port on the north bank of the river which had become inadequate.

The neighbouring ground of Old Shielfield Park is home to Tweedmouth Rangers F.C., who play in the East of Scotland Football League.
