'''Selkirkshire''' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]: ''Siorrachd Shalcraig'') is a landlocked traditional county in the [[Southern Uplands]] of Scotland. The county borders [[Peeblesshire]] to the west, [[Midlothian]] to the north, [[Berwickshire]] to the north-east, [[Roxburghshire]] to the east, and [[Dumfriesshire]] to the south. The county has an area of around 270 square miles, and a population of around 18,000.

Occasionally, the county is known as '''Ettrick Forest'''; the land between the River Tweed and its tributary, Ettrick Water, was historically densely forested.
