Roxburgh in the Scottish county Roxburghshire lies on a narrow strip of land between the rivers Tweed and Teviot. In a historical context, the name is most likely to refer to a royal burgh that was destroyed in 1460. However, the name Roxburgh survives in that of a civil parish as well as a village that lies upstream of the destroyed burgh. The civil parish (including the village) lie in the post town of Kelso.
