+*Peeblesshire County Council was abolished in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, which reorganised local government in Scotland.
+*Peeblesshire became part of the Borders region and Tweeddale district, the latter having the same boundaries as the pre-1975 county of Peeblesshire.
+*The Borders region and its four districts, including Tweeddale, were abolished in 1996, merging to form the present Scottish Borders council area.
