Berwickshire (now part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scotborders.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scottish Borders<\/a>) was a traditional county of Scotland. Berwick-upon-Tweed had been its county town and namesake. England didn&#8217;t formally annex Berwick-upon-Tweed perhaps hoping to avoid additional conflict, but effectively controlled and administered it. This distinction became largely symbolic with the 1707 union that formed the Kingdom of Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, the evolution of Berwick-upon-Tweed as &#8220;English&#8221; proceeded slowly and delicately. It remained a sore point for many people in Scotland who never forgot its situation even into the modern era. The UK handled it as a standalone entity for the longest time. They even left it out of Northumberland for parliamentary purposes until 1885. Legislative Acts passed in the 1970&#8217;s made it clear that references to England included Berwick-upon-Tweed. So the UK apparently resolved the status without explicit declaration. Berwick-upon-Tweed became a part of England by accretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should It Be Part of England?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1tXef5W4GlBYW01pu2gW-UrZbqf8\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While history places Berwick-upon-Tweed in England today, geography create a lot of tugs in the opposite direction. I drew a straight line of latitude from the town&#8217;s northern edge along the North Sea, the current northernmost point in England. This line places the town nearly on the same latitude as Glasgow (Scotland&#8217;s largest city) and just south of Edinburgh (Scotland&#8217;s capital). Berwick-upon-Tweed is only 57 miles away from Edinburgh but 346 miles away from London. In fact, it&#8217;s closer to <em>any<\/em> point in Scotland other than remote corners of the Shetland Islands than it is to London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultural ties to Scotland continue to exist even after many centuries. A BBC article, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/uk_news\/england\/tyne\/3727046.stm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Tale of One Town<\/a>&#8221; explored some of these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The &#8216;two-country&#8217; identity of the town is not just confined to history. Berwick is under English law and has a mayor rather than a provost, as there would be in Scotland. But the robes are purple instead of scarlet, which goes back to the town&#8217;s time as a Royal Scottish Borough&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The sports world weighs-in on the topic too. Berwick-upon-Tweed is the only town in England that fields a team that plays in the Scottish Football League: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berwickrangers.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berwick Rangers<\/a>. Their rugby union team, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pitchero.com\/clubs\/berwick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berwick RFC<\/a>, also plays north of the border in the Scottish Rugby Union&#8217;s National League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some might consider this just a quirky anachronism. However, that ignores the rise of Scottish nationalism in recent decades. Were Scotland ever to achieve self-determination, Berwick-upon-Tweed and its 12,000 residents would sit right at the forefront again, a flash-point on the northern banks of the River Tweed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Berwick-upon-Tweed is the northernmost town in England.
