A village on the south bank of the River Tweed, where it reaches the sea, Tweedmouth is almost swallowed up by the suburban overflow of Berwick upon Tweed just to the north. In an annual ceremony dating back to 1292, Tweedmouth schools elect a Salmon Queen to mark the start of Salmon Week, a tradition celebration which dates to medieval times. The parish church of St Bartholomew dates to the late 18th century, on the site of an earlier church built in 1145.
