Peeblesshire
Peeblesshire (''Siorrachd nam Pùballan'' in Gaelic), the County of Peebles or Tweeddale is a historic county of Scotland. Its county town is Peebles, and it borders Midlothian to the north, Selkirkshire to the east, Dumfriesshire to the south, and Lanarkshire to the west.
After the local government reorganisation of 1975 the county lost its administrative status, and the area was governed as the district of Tweeddale.

The coat of arms of the county, which was matriculated by the Lord Lyon in 1931, ia as follows: ''Quarterly, 1st sable five fraises (strawberry leaves) argent; 2nd azure, a horse's head couped argent; 3rd vert, a fleece or; 4th or, fretty gules, on a chief embattled of the last, two thunderbolts of the first.'' The arms are supported by two salmon proper, and the crest is a Border cavalryman. The motto is ''ONWARD TWEEDDALE''. The first quarter is the arms of Fraser of Oliver Castle, a prominent local laird; the second, that of Horsburgh, another prominent local laird; the third, a reference to the area's wool industry; and the fourth, that of M. G. (later Sir Michael) Thorburn of Glenormiston, who was sheriff of Peebles at the time of the arms' matriculation.〔 consulted 19 December 2013.〕
