It's a bit more complicated than that...
[QUOTE 4501067, member: 9609"]Without looking at maps, what are the first two or three places that spring to your mind if you think about the Scottish Borders.
Nothing more to this question than I was just discussing this with friends today and we all had very different opinions of what towns would be widely heard of.[/QUOTE]
Second answer: that bastard slow climb to a rather self-conscious border flag and stone, on the top edge of Keilder Forest, along which our front tyre blew off. And at the top of which we thought we'd better change the tyre before the fast descent because it was bulging a bit...

Gretna. I can't think of another so can i say Queen of the South FC?
The only Scottish football team to reach the English FA cup final
Edit, should have read the team name correctly, the Scottish team was Queens Park not Queen of the South

But you couldn't care less safe in the comfort of knowing that Melrose are the best.

The only football team mentioned in the bible. Matthew 12:42.
But I think you've confused Queens Park with the Doonhamers. Queens Park reached the FA cup final twice but lost both times to Blackburn Rovers. They also scratched in the semi final of the first FA cup.

Don't forget the worlds greatest racing driver was from Duns, Jim Clark. (OK he wasn't born there, but lived there from aged 6)

He lived in Chirnside. His museum is in Duns.
I would think of Gretna, Annan first, as the first two towns I know we pass when we drive out of England, then Galashiels because it's the only other one I can think of right now with everyone else having said Berwick already.
I do know that Gretna and Annan aren't in the "scottish borders" on the map though.

Galashiels (as Lucy's audaxes all start there)
Longtown (as it's on the border
)
Hawick
I'd also mention Kelso, Melrose, Moffat, Selkirk, Lauder, Peebles, Jedburgh and Langholm as other places I've cycled through, but they're not in my top 3
