Hawick, Scottish Borders
★★★
Hawick Museum is located in Wilton Lodge: the 18th century mansion at the centre of Wilton Lodge Park, Hawick. Part museum and part art gallery, this is a sizeable museum which makes a decent stab at capturing the history of the largest town in the Scottish Borders. Local bikers, wildlife, wartime exhibitions and local trades are all on display here, though Hawick’s knitwear industry is better described in the nearby Borders Textile Towerhouse.
