About the area

Clovenfords is expanding village in the central Scottish Borders with a population nearing 1,000 and around 350 households. A further 50 households lie in the surrounding hamlets of Caddonfoot, Peel, Yair, and Torwoodlee.

Clovenfords was home to the long closed Tweed Vineries, which produced 15,000 pounds of grapes at its peak and the village hotel saw Sir Walter Scott and William Wordsworth as guests (source).
