Selkirk County Selkirkshire was an inland county on the Scottish border with England. It included the burghs of Galashiels and Selkirk. Selkirk County Council was established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1889, taking over powers from the Commissioners of Supply, County Road Trust, and other local authorities. The County Council was abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973, and the former county became part of Borders Region. The current local authority is the Scottish Borders Council.
