Manor is a parish in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders, whose church lies on the west bank of Manor Water 3 miles south-west of Peebles. The parish consists of the valley of Manor Water, a tributary of the River Tweed and extends about 9 miles north to south and about 3 miles wide. It is bound on the north-east by Peebles, on the south by Yarrow (Selkirkshire), on the south-west by Drumelzier and on the west and north-west by Stobo. The name was originally Manner but this has been gradually supplanted by the form Manor. The present church building, which lies at the north end of the valley, was erected in 1874, but the bell rung before every service, is inscribed 'In honore Santi Gordiani MCCCCLXXVIII' and is one of the oldest bells in Scotland. There is also a Pewter baptismal basin inscribed 'Manner Kirk 1703'. The civil parish of Manor is in the Manor, Stobo and Lyne Community Council area. The civil parish has a population of 149 (in 2011) and its area is 16,628 acres.

The Lyne Water flows through the village on its journey from the Pentland Hills to the River Tweed. Lyne railway station was, along with Stobo railway station, one of the nine intermediate stations of the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway branch line. See also: Lyne Viaduct.

By an Act of the Scottish Parliament of 1621, the Parish of Lyne was joined to that Megget, some 14 miles (23 km) to the south without any proper connecting road. This union was dissolved after 270 years in 1891.

The Upper Tweeddale National Scenic Area lies in the Borders region of Scotland. It is one of 40 national scenic areas (NSA) in Scotland, which are defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure their protection from inappropriate development. The designated area covers 12,770 ha (49 square miles) of countryside surrounding the upper reaches of the River Tweed between Broughton and Peebles. National scenic areas are designated primarily to recognise the scenic qualities of an area, but sometimes also e.g. its culture, history, archaeology, geology or wildlife. Areas with such qualities may be protected via other national and international designations that overlap with the NSA designation. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within the designated area of the Upper Tweeddale NSA. Although the national scenic area designation provides a degree of additional protection via the planning process, there are no bodies equivalent to a national park authority, and whilst local authorities (in this case Scottish Borders Council) can produce a management strategy for each one, only the three national scenic areas within Dumfries and Galloway currently have management strategies.

Stobo Castle is located at Stobo in the Scottish Borders, in the former county of Peeblesshire. The Manor of Stobo was originally owned by the Balfour family. It became the family seat of the Graham-Montgomery Baronets from 1767. The building of the present castle began in 1805 and was completed in 1811 under the supervision of architects Archibald and James Elliot. It is currently operated as a health spa. The house is protected as a category A listed building, while the grounds are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, the national listing of significant parks and gardens.

Stobo railway station was a railway station in the Borders east of Biggar, serving the hamlet of Stobo; a rural community within the Parish of Stobo.
