Newcastleton, Scottish Borders
Welcome to Newcastleton or Copshaw Holm as it is known locally.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Newcastleton, known locally as Copshaw Holm.

The small village of Newcastleton, with a resident population of 850, is nestled in the valley of Liddesdale, gateway to the Scottish Borders. We are surrounded by hills and forests with fabulous scenery, abundant wild life and historical sites. It is great place to visit for the day or longer. From mountain biking to walking, golf and fishing check out the things to do section or just come and soak up the atmosphere.

Five hundred years ago the hills would be ringing with the sound of clashing steel and fighting Reivers, today visitors experience a warm welcome.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Holm.

24hrs Of Exposure LogoAll new to Newcastleton for 2010, "24 Hours of Exposure" is the UK's first and only 24 hour mountain bike endurance race for solo riders only and in celebration of the increasingly popular and challenging format of 24 hour solo racing, we'll be crowning the first ever 24Hr MTB Champions of the United Kingdom.

The ever enthusiastic Rory Hitchens from title sponsors Exposure Lights/USE said:

"This is the race to challenge yourself at, to make your mark and to undertake that Solo effort you’ve always promised yourself.

We encourage all riders to make their own bid for glory and take part in the 24hrs of Exposure and also look forward to the ultimate showdown of British talent for the National titles.

To succeed in any challenging event like this, preparation is the key, and by announcing the event early we aim to give riders a strong chance to get those winning base miles in now, and Exposure Lights will be guiding their way forward through these long winter months!"

Scotland's Heritage

Today the lands are peaceful surrounding Newcastleton, Langholm and Hawick, but five hundred years ago the Border was infamous for its savage warring families who fought and foraged for generations across the valley and moors.
