 * The origins of Peeblesshire are obscure, but it became a shire sometime around the twelfth century, covering part of the historic district or province of Tweeddale.
 * Peeblesshire County Council was created in 1890.
 * Peeblesshire County Council was abolished in 1975 and Peeblesshire became part of the Borders region and Tweeddale district, the latter having the same boundaries as the pre-1975 county of Peeblesshire.
 * The Borders region and its four districts, including Tweeddale, were abolished in 1996, merging to form the present Scottish Borders council area.
