Manor Water

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.

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 John Buchan Way is a walking route from Peebles to Broughton in the Scottish Borders, a distance of approximately 22 km (13 miles). The route is waymarked in both directions, and was opened in spring 2003. It is named after the writer and diplomat John Buchan (1875–1940), who has many associations with the area. The route mainly follows long-established hill tracks through the Peeblesshire countryside. It has three main ascents and descents which give a total climb of about 800 metres, but this climb is never severe. The walk can be completed in one day by strong walkers, or can conveniently be split.
