Council Headquarters, Newtown St Boswells, Administrative center in Newtown St Boswells, Scotland.
The Scottish Borders Council Headquarters consists of a square office block with a central courtyard located 40 miles from Edinburgh.
The building originated in 1896 when Roxburghshire County Council constructed the first office, with a major expansion completed in 1968.
The headquarters represents local governance traditions, hosting council meetings and administrative functions that shape community development in the Scottish Borders region.
Public transportation routes connect the headquarters to Edinburgh, Galashiels, and other regional towns through regular bus services on the B6398 road.
The current structure stems from architect Peter Womersley's competition-winning brutalist design, featuring distinctive architectural elements from the 1960s.
