THIS year's Tweedbank principals have been announced.

On Saturday, the Tweedbank community gathered at the community centre to hear the news everyone had been waiting for – who would be Tweedbank Fair Lad and Lass 2023.

At the ceremony P7 pupils Archie Barr and Ava Evans, both 11, were named as those taking on the prestigious positions.
