Wrae Tower is a ruined 16th-century stone tower house, located in the upper Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, and similarly south of the village of Broughton. The ruin is at grid reference NT115332, 3 km south-west of Drumelzier. Only a fragment of the north-east corner stair tower, around 9m high and 4m across, remains standing. A single jamb represents the north-west ground floor entrance to the tower and crowning the north-east wall is rough corbelling, which supports the remains of a parapet. The tower was probably built by the Tweedies of Drumelzier, who owned the surrounding lands since 1320.

Stanhope is a small settlement in the Scottish Borders region. It is situated in the parish of Drumelzier in Peeblesshire, in the valley of the River Tweed. The Murray family acquired and established a Barony at Stanhope in 1634 as part of an estate that extended into Tweedsmuir. The settlement consists of a cluster of buildings by Stanhope Burn. It was the property of Sir David Murray, nephew of John Murray of Broughton who was active in the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. As a result of his participation the Murray estates at Broughton, Stobo and Stanhope were confiscated (as were those other Jacobite sympathisers) and in 1761 it was still in the hands of creditors. Stanhope and Stobo were sold by order of the Court of Session by deed in 1767 to a James Montgomery. Many properties on the Stanhope estate were tenanted by members of the Tweedie family with whom the Murrays had at various times fought or intermarried.

Broughton, Glenholm and Kilbucho is a parish in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders, 11 miles south-west of Peebles, lying in the upper part of the valley of the River Tweed in the Southern Uplands. It is a union of three former parishes of bearing these names and the united parish is bound by Kirkurd on the north, Stobo on the east, Drumelzier on the south-east, Culter and Biggar, South Lanarkshire on the west and by Skirling in the north-west. For 4½ miles the eastern border of the parish follows the northward flowing Tweed. It is 9½ miles long north-to-south and 3½ miles wide. The only village is Broughton. This parish comprehends the old parish of Broughton in the north, and Glenholm in the south-east and Kilbucho on the south-west. In accordance with the deed of annexation, all three names are retained in the name of the united parish. Biggar Water, which forms the boundary between the Broughton and the other two, flows in an easterly direction and, before joining the Tweed, is joined in turn by Kilbucho Burn, Broughton Burn and Holms Water, each of which forms valleys containing the parishes that bear their names.The origin of the name Glenholm is obviously the valley of the Holms. Kilbucho, also spelled Kilbeuhhoe, Kilbochoe, Kilbocho, and Kirkbucho, is probably the Gaelic prefix "Kil" meaning chapel together with the name of the Venerable Bede or St Bega or St Bees. "Brough" in Broughton may refer to "burgh" or more likely the Scots term Brough or Bruch, meaning circle, of hills.The united parish was established by the Presbytery of Biggar in 1794 and a new church was built in 1804 at a convenient central location for the united parish. While within Kilbucho, the church is located just south of the village of Broughton and across Biggar Water. It is now a member of the linked "Parishes of Upper Tweeddale". Which is made up of the four linked Parishes of: Broughton, Glenholm and Kilbucho Skirling Stobo and Drumelzier Tweedsmuir At the time the three old parishes were united their area and population was : At the same time the north-west portion of Kilbucho, around Hartree and Hartree Hills, was transferred to the parish of Culter in Lanarkshire, although this portion remained in Peeblesshire. This had an area of 1712 acres. However this portion was returned to the united parish in 1891, so that Culter became a parish entirely within Lanarkshire.For some time the three parishes continued to exist for some civil purposes. They continued as Registration Districts until 1870 and to have separate parish schools.The civil parish of Broughton, Glenholm and Kilbucho is covered by the Upper Tweed Community Council (which also includes part of Drumelzier).The civil parish has a population of 648 (in 2011) and its area is 19,797 acres.

Drumelzier (), is a village and civil parish on the B712 in the Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders. The area of the village is extensive and includes the settlements of Wrae, Stanhope, Mossfennan and Kingledoors. To the north is Broughton and to the south the road passes Crook Inn to Tweedsmuir. The Drumelzier and Powsail Burns run by here, and join to make a tributary of the River Tweed.

Polmood is a small settlement in southern Scotland near Tweedsmuir in the Scottish Borders, in the valley of the River Tweed. Polmood was for many centuries the centre of the Hunter family in the lowlands and the earliest record was a charter dated 1057 to Norman Hunter of Polmood. It was once a Peel tower, part of a chain of beacons running down the Tweed Valley. At the end of the nineteenth century the temporary Talla Railway was built close to Polmont to deliver building materials during the construction of the Talla Reservoir.The estate was acquired by Mitchell Mitchell-Thomson, an Edinburgh businessman and politician who took his baronetcy title from the Peeblesshire estate of Polmood which he had acquired before 1916. Polmood is commemorated in "The Piper of Polmood" a piece based on old Scottish folk-tunes by Victor Babin.

Biggar Water is a river in Lanarkshire and Peeblesshire, in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. It forms part of the River Tweed system. It rises, as Biggar Burn, in the north-east of the parish of Biggar, South Lanarkshire and flows about 6+3⁄4 miles (10.9 km) generally south-westerly toward the town of Biggar, where it becomes Biggar Water. It then flows about 5 miles (8.0 km) eastwards before its confluence with the Tweed 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) mile north-east of Drumelzier in Peeblesshire.

Broughton railway station served the village of Broughton, Scottish Borders, Scotland from 1860 to 1950 on the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway and Talla Railway.

Broughton is a village in Tweeddale in the historical county of Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders council area, in the south of Scotland, in the civil parish of Broughton, Glenholm and Kilbucho and Upper Tweed Community Council. Broughton is on the Biggar Water, near where it flows into the River Tweed. It is about 7 km east of Biggar, and 15 km west of Peebles. The village has a post office, village store, tea room/bistro, bowling green, tennis courts, a village hall, a petrol station and a garage. Since 1979, the village has been home to Broughton Ales, Scotland's original independent brewery.

The Crook Inn is an inn in the Scottish Borders, near the village of Tweedsmuir on the A701 road between Broughton and Moffat. It is one of many claimants to be the oldest inn in Scotland. It was licensed in 1604. Robert Burns wrote "Willie Wastle's Wife" there. It has served as a coaching inn, a Post Office and source of employment. In the early 20th century a halt was built on the Talla Railway to serve it. The inn attracted much passing trade from the labourers who were building the Talla Reservoir, which the railway was built to serve. The hotel was refurbished in 1936 in the then-current Art Deco style, and retains many of the features installed at that time. It has also, over the years, become a place of pilgrimage for members of the Porteous family, visiting the site of nearby Hawkshaw, their former ancestral home on the hills above Tweeddale and the Fruid Reservoir. A reunion of Porteous family members was traditionally held at the inn every five years, attracting visitors from all over the world. The proposals to convert the historic inn into apartments met with much local opposition and the plans were rejected by the councillors of Tweeddale West in March 2008. Following refusal the present owner lodged an appeal with the Department for Planning and Environmental Appeals (DPEA), a department of the Scottish Government. On 2 February 2009, following an appeal hearing on 18 November 2008, a decision notice was issued by the DPEA which finally dismissed the appeal. This meant that planning permission was not granted for the change of use of the historic Crook Inn to residential accommodation, giving scope for the inn to reopen once again if it could be purchased. In January 2013, after a lengthy campaign by the Tweedsmuir community to secure ownership of the Crook Inn in order to reinvigorate it, the Tweedsmuir Community Company raised the asking price of £160,000 and bought the property. The Tweedsmuir Community Company obtained a Development Grant from Big Lottery in 2014 to redesign and renovate the historic Crook Inn, with designs undertaken by WTArchitecture, Edinburgh. The plans obtained planning permission in 2015. The rest of the land at the site was purchased in 2015 with grants from the Scottish Land Fund, SSE Clyde Border and the Infinis Glenkerie Community Funds. Grants are being sought to create a multi-faceted Crook Inn Community Hub to serve the Upper Tweed community and tourism. Since then nothing has happened and the building continues to deteriorate. It is listed on the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland.
