About

Longtown sits directly adjacent to the Scottish border, marked by the River Esk. This is a functional agricultural area characterised by livestock farming, with the historic Longtown Mart being a central focus for the local economy. The surrounding landscape is one of flat, reclaimed moss lands and quiet, linear settlements along old routeways.

The area's history is intrinsically tied to its frontier position, evident in the nearby ruins of 16th-century border pele towers built for defence. The precise line of the border itself, once heavily contested, now runs unobtrusively through fields and the river, a quiet testament to the region's past as a reiver territory where allegiances were frequently divided.
